This is as loaded a topic as browser wars, console wars, console VS PC, Mac VS PC, and so on. Ergo, there is no right answer.
No no, it's not there is no right answer, it's there are many right answers.
The best antivirus is the one you will actually tolerate and
use. Doesn't matter if it's Panda, with its Scientology links, or Microsoft Security Essentials, with its constant and pathetic lagging behind in detection rates -- the one you actually use is better than the one you get pissed off at and disable because it annoys you, slows you down, or otherwise gets in the way.
Same can be said of browsers (I use Opera despite the occasional compatibility problem!), consoles, operating systems, you name it.
