Source.
Easy to modify and configure, extremely capable of looking nice and pulling off newer, prettier and more tasking effects (such as the new cinematic physics, advanced particles etc.) and is very well optimized.

Depends what your looking for in "Best"

The ones I'm fond of are:
-Cryengine 2 (They're optimising it more, can be scaled for old and new computers, and, duh, it looks great,)
-X-ray Engine (The engine STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl and STALKER: Clear Sky run on) because it looks amazing, and seems to be good for modding
-Project Offset's engine...Because... well.... Go look for yourself....

and I suppose Source and Unreal, because of their decent looks, optimisation, and mod-ability.

I think Cry Engine 2 is awesome, if you have the power to run it well then it's a real treat and runs nicely. Once it's better optimized, it'd devour anything else on the market.

Source. Great-looking with very low requirements and great physics.

Unreal Engine 3 - looks extremely good, plays well and runs very smoothly. Me likes.

Well, I've read that most of you agree with source to be the best engine...

I do not agree because the things which define the quality and the reliability of an engine are the possibility to fit with the largest number of pcs of different "generations" and the fact that the game runs with an average amount of fps even though you're not using a top level machine or an high detail configuration.

There are three engines which are really able to manage this task:

- PAIN 3D, used in Painkiller

- Unreal 3 (don't need to say where it's been used, do I?:D )

- Serious engine, used in Serious Sam games.

And, if I have to choose, I would definitely choose Serious engine because the effects are shown in such a realistic way that I've never seen before and it's REALLY a very versatile engine (meaning that it's the only one which allows you to set so much variables in order to make it work with every kind of machine!) ...

..DEFINITELY the best ever!

If you ask me, the best engine has to be Source because it still looks nice, the lighting and textures are still well done, it is now out there for free and is easy to program for. By far the best engine since the Q3A engine.

The Source engine runs smoothly on five year old computers. Just look at TF2 or Half-Life 2.

Of course without a doubt cryengine 2 is the most graphically realistic/advanced, but Source has the optimal balance between hardware stress and good gameplay/graphics.

Cry engine2 is best but its heavy on the system. On the other hand COD4 has great engine with great character model, but also easy on the systems.

the Quake 3 engine probably since a ton of games were made using it. But its definately not the best, it didn't really have any physics in it
