It would all depend on the type of warefare. In an urban setting SAS, when it comes to amphibious warfare SEALS, and so on.
Poll: Who do YOU think has the most elite military unit in the world?

I would say it's probably a tie between the SAS and the US SEALS as I think both of the units are combined of soldiers at the peak of their training and physical fitness. However, any battle between the two could go either way depending on a multitude of factors.
Add in that rumour about their kukri; some rumours say that if a kukri is drawn in battle there will be blood spilled before it is re-sheathed.octafish said:
Might not be true anymore but that legend has meant that even the Taliban would rather surrender than fight. Might not be special forces but they're still scary bastards.

OT: SAS/SBS I don't know much about the Special Boat Service though so I'll say SAS here.
Honourable mentions go to:
Her Majesties Corps of Royal Marines for having the longest basic training in NATO.
Force 100 (or whatever...) The Israeli paratroopers.
US Navy SEALs, for nicking our training regime off of us. Same with Delta Force...
Which are in Counterstrike and Killing Floor?
Which were sent to the Gulf on their own?
SAS/SBS. Who Dares Wins.
They train all the other countries.
To the others saying the Israelis? The Sayeret Matkal have the same motto and are based on the SAS. The Israelis just don't have the "bring them back alive" restriction the SAS does.

i'm guessing sas because i read a bit more about their training and such, but i'm hardly an expert. might be the seals on virtue of carrying to more expensive fancier gear.
New Zealand SAS being my kneejerk reaction but id say the British SAS because they were the original modern SF unit and they still have what it takes to be an elite unit
None of us seem to know the specifics about the training or equipment used by the teams, so we can't make any academic guesses. Though SAS has the best reputation, it stands to reason that practically all developed or developing nations have an equally well trained unit of as kickers.
