Best? Don't know.

I like avatars that tell you something about that person and their tastes, or at least give an impression of knowing that person a little more, are humorous, just plain silly or surreal, or make me curious. I think I'd want to do categories of avatar. The best for me do reveal some aspect of the person's personality (all do to some extent I would say, but some I "get" and can identify with more than others).

I do like avatars of the actual members the most on the whole.

EDIT: Some really great avatars have come from people's own artwork rather than just being found by, say, searching google images. If someone created it themselves or it is of themselves, those often are amongst the best for me.

Ever since I started reading the reviews in PA, I've always liked Australian's avatar:
 
 
 
 
 
As for my own avatar, it serves the purpose of saying what I am about. However, aesthetically it has too much detail for such a small image, exacerbated by being black & white.
 
 
 
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Wonderfully weird and i love sliding down stairs but the colors are what i love. Wasn't intended to make anyone seasick. I've been sick as a dog for the last week so time to change it i guess :)
oh, I wasn't dissing your avatar. It's still very cool. But your signature image would make a better one, imo.
