Define battery in the context you are using it. Battery as in device with a button that you hook your atomizer up to or removeable battery that you put inside a device?
If it is the first kind I like the spinner 2 with variable voltage for people new to vaping. If it is the second I like the Sony VTC4's but have only used a limited number of models to compare that to.

Best for what applications? We use different batteries for different applications. Bottom line, they must all be high drain, safe chemistry IMR batteries.
For long battery time using normal resistance coils (2.0 - 3.0 ohm), the Panasonic 18650BD with 3200 mAh (10 amps) is probably the "best".
If using coils below 1.0 ohm, you need a higher amp battery. A Sony VTC or Orbtronic SX30 with 30 amps can fire down to 0.2 ohm. The Samsung25R and LG-HE2 are 20 amp batteries that can fire down to 0.3 ohm.
Battery Basics for Mods
Personally, I use Sony VTC4 and Samsung25R in my mech for a 0.6 ohm RDA, and AW IMR's in my regulated mod for a 1.5 ohm RTA.

I often see people stating, "THIS BATTERY HITS SO HARD" when really I've never noticed any variances from one 20A/4.2V to the next. Maybe one has slightly less voltage drop than the next, but we're probably talking 'bout .001V, which likely wouldn't even be picked up with monitoring equipment, let alone something you could notice when you vape.
That said, I've been quite fond of the LG HE4's lately, and I also have a pair of Efest 35A's (I know they're 20A, and likely LG HE2's) but they're fine for my applications. Had I known they were re-wraps I woulda just bought a regular 20A battery, but no tragedies just yet so whatever.
If you clarify your question I'm sure we can provide you with more specific help.

VTC5 was the best. I now use mainly 25R or HE4. I also have 3 Imren Green that I use in a triple battery mod. Some people will get upset when they see me recommend the Imren, but they work for me... they last a long time on a charge and I get better results with lower voltage drop than some of my name-brand batteries.
Samsung 25Rs are my go to batteries. They can handle most anything I throw at it. But I don't go any lower than .2, So below that I'm not sure how it performs.
I've been using AW IMR batteries for so long now that I don't want to confuse me .... so I just keep using my same ole AW IMRs. 
That is my thought with the VTC4. It was my first battery, I know it works, in sticking with it. Haha.I've been using AW IMR batteries for so long now that I don't want to confuse me .... so I just keep using my same ole AW IMRs.
I usually use Efest or Mxjo (both are from the same manufacturer I think), had no problem with them 
Just jumping in to add my "depends on application" to the chorus.
In a mech, you need to keep in mind the resistances you vape at, and choose a battery based on that, maintaining a bit of safety margin.
In a regulated mod, you need to look at the requirements of the mod itself - how much current is that board capable of pulling out of the battery?
Sort of.. When a battery is taken close to its limits, some (like the VTC series) are much better at maintaining nominal (3.7) voltage under load than others. Same mech, same atomizer, same resistance, I've seen differences of up to around 0.3 volts under load. A 0.3 difference in voltage (3.7 to 3.4) at 0.2 ohms is about a 10 watt difference in power, and that's noticeable.

Huh. I suppose that could be right, but I've never seen charts that back it up.
It's not necessarily a quantifiable number per say. It's just the difference between how well the batteries are made. The vtc series batteries, are made incredibly well, and so they tend to hold their voltage better than others. That's why many people, myself included, notice a difference between those and lesser batteries when using the exact same set up. It's not a huge difference in vapor or flavor, but it's a noticeable one.
I use the Sony VTC4's and 5's
I have 2 of the 5's and 6 of the 4's..
I also have around 6 Efest 2000's..I got those from back when i ordered my VTC4's..
They messed up on my order and sent me the Efests..
So i told the shop i would keep them for extra's..just send me my VTC4's for the price of the Efest's since i paid the price of the vtc4's already..
so i have 14 batteries in my battery case that go pretty much everywhere with me..
Also keep my Xtar charger with me as well..
It has a port that i can drop a battery in the charger to turn it into a little power stations to charge other things..like my Eleaf's and a cell phone and stuff like that..
Wow i'm babbling on now..lol
Vape on!

I think a lot of that is due to how certain cells are spec'ed. If their CDR rating is set at close to where the cells practically catch fire then they will have a lousy voltage under load due to being pushed too hard for their internal resistance value. But if the manufacturer sets a conservative CDR then the cells are, comparatively, loaded less for their internal resistance value and the voltage under load will be higher. Temperature measurements of two cells at the same discharge current level can also tell you a lot.
EFest - from the information I could find "Does Not Make Battery's"
Samsung 25R or LG HE4 seem to be widely used currently.
