Who gets to decide what is "best"? American manufacturers are going to say theirs is the best, European will say theirs is, etc. Remember Betamax? How about HD-DVDs? Heck, we still have slotted screws, even though Phillips heads are clearly better from a user point, but I'm sure manufacturers will tell you slotted are easier/better.
Well We can pick something from everywhere...
And let's not forget the huge financial cost to switch. How much would it cost every household in the U.S. to switch to 220v - replacing outlets, wiring, breakers...So it would be best for the U.S. if everyone else switched to what we use, but worst for them.
I don't think there is an easy answer to what is "best". It is too subjective.
rome was not build in one day.. If you want to build a better world, it will take time and definitely cost you some money.. but I guess human mind find some alternatives for this.
