There isn't a best tasting one. Some like heritage, some like cornishx, some like older ones, some don't like anything they didn't raise

There isn't.
it all comes to personal preference and maybe diet.

I had some soup made out of one of my Buckeyes and it was stunning!

I think it comes down to what you feed the chickens that makes them taste good.

That comes down to preparation, and genetics. Not the bird's genetics so much as the eater's.

There is no "best", though the French (of course... it's seemingly ALWAYS the French...) claim they have the best tasting bird in the Bresse. Of course, they also have a very famous recipe for rendering an otherwise inedible chicken palatable by drowning it in two bottle of red wine, a bouquet of veggies, and a long slow cook. When they aren't doing that, they are burying delicate flavors and good meats in fat heavy sauces made with a half dozen egg yolks, pounds of butter, pints of cream, or some combination of the three... (legacy of serving "questionable" meat in the medieval period - drown its off flavors in heavy sauces).

/edit I should add that Kobe, a variety of Wagyu (neither available in the US - though "American Wagyu" or "American Kobe" are close) is supposedly the best beef in the world. But its very high intramuscular fat content only makes it best for certain cuts and certain preparations. Great ingredients only get you so far. It takes a great chef to make a classic out of a cut that isn't great - corned beef and pastrami from brisket, fajitas or ropa vieja from skirt steak, etc.

Here you go:
Sulmtaler
Touted by the Germans as having the finest quality meat, the Sulmtaler is an excellent dual-purpose breed!
Are the Germans ever wrong?

Well, the French claim their bresse is the finest tasting meat. All depends on who you are and what you like

Ummmm. Germans make Sauerbraten. Its tasty, but not reminiscent of favored things to do with great meat. Like the French with their Coq au Vin. and neither of them makes great beer (that's the Belgian monks!).

The answer is - whatever tastes best TO YOU, prepared the way YOU most like. (and if that way is in Doro Wat, almost any Curry, or pounded into submission, floured, egged, breaded, fried, and drowned in white gravy, any bird will do.)
