As far as radar detectors go, "best" is very subjective. If 90% of my driving were highway driving, I'd probably go with the V1 because it is slightly more sensitive than the Escort 9500, and you won't have to worry too much about false alerts on the highway.

For me, at least 50% of my driving is in the city, and the V1 simply falsed too often. The 9500ix gives you more than enough range, and it almost never falses because it memorizes the GPS location of false alerts either manually (with the 9500i and 9500ix) or automatically (with the 9500ix). Knowing where the red light and radar cameras are around town is an added bonus.
