The Borg don't count any more than Jedi (yes that makes sense, think about it).
best? What makes them the best? most huggable? most spikey? best hair? most intelligent? most well rounded? coolest (define cool)? most like to die as soon as they're seen? most deadly?

Okay, realistically, the predator is my favorite alien (although, if you watch the trailer for the movie, Predator is actually refering to Arnold, not the alien).
Various vision modes, florescent blood, technologically advanced, human hunting, just cool looking aliens (I believe their actual name is Yhut'ya or something...just not Predators...despite that name being easier.

That or the Predator. Seriously, you can't see him to shoot him, and you stand a chance of having your head and spine torn out, or your chest blown open, or your head lopped off with a razor frisbee. Then even if you can see him, you shoot him, he leaps off into trees and heals himself, and if you do shoot him, and trap him, and shoot him more, he blows everything to hell.

Ewoks.
Why? They're small, cuddly, shaped like teddy bears and worship a giant gold marital aid. And they can STILL take out some of the best armed and trained Imperial Troops using a rope and a log. And those hang gliders.
Them and the borg, because i'll never tire of seeing a "highly intelligent and advanced race" punch a door down for 10 minutes instead of A) Using the door pad or B) Haxorzing the controls to open the door. Advanced by incredibly large bottom.

The Grunts from Halo. Anyone who plays that game a lot knows why - your character carries around a translator that tells you what they're saying. I once saw a Grunt that killed about 5 enemies and sang "Weee are the champ-ions!" Once I died on Legendary and a Grunt was like "We bad, oh yea, we bad!" When they get tagged with a plasma grenade sometimes they go "Not again!" All in a squeaky voice that makes them sound like 6 year olds inhaling helium. "Can't... run... with... thing... on... back! AHHH!"
I played through Aliens vs. Predator 2 and read the Predator books before watching the movie, and I was disappointed. The predator in the movie must be a retard among his kind to be defeated by Arnie. If it was the game, the human squad would've been dead in 5 minutes (at least if I were playing). So the runner-up is Dachande from the Predator books, simply because he was the only "friendly" Predator and I can't think of anything else right now.
Zerg. The mightiest alien collective ever. Despite its feudal looking system , all of them from the zergling to the cerebrate are perfectly happy to serve the Overmind , which loves its job (assimilating everything on sight)
The previously weary terrans hiding in fear in the command center now happily blow themselves up to show their enemies their dedication to the Swarm is tangible.
And how about thoses depressed dragoons doomed to serve a lost cause in a clumsy , artificial body ? Well they can have the satisfaction to die for good while helping the growth of two newborn underlings.

Shofixiti and Yehat get my vote.
why? Pointy, spikey, and just cool looking, with a viciousness the Kharaa should learn.
mmm... mashed potatos...
