1. Force of Will
2. Mana Drain
3. Remand
4. Counterspell
5. Spell Burst
Without a doubt FoW and MDrain are the best.

There's a two card combo in type 2 that makes a 2 mana counterspell that's even better than the original counterspell or even mana drain (WTF?!). Hear me out:
Delay
1U
Counter target spell, put three time counters on it instead and it gains suspend...yadda yadda.
And Teferi. That is all.
But otherwise, my preference:
Counterspell
FoW
Mana Drain
Thwart
MANA TITHE! ******** yeah, Stasis.

I'll just say that it depends what you are playing... tho by itself, the best is FoW or mana drain lol... tho power sink is pretty high up too lol

No mention of Cancel?
And, if you really have the mana for it, Counterbore is pretty nasty.

Outside of legacy and vintage, I'd have to say Pact of Negation and then Cryptic command. I'm actually surprised they've been mentioned as rarely as they have been.

1: Force of Will
2: Mana Drain
3: Undermine
4: Counterspell
5: Pack of Negation
6: Voidslime
7: Cryptic Command
8: Arcane Denial
That's my top 8.
And my card of choice to stop any and all counterspells, least these here, is Extripate.
---- Quash is better than Counterbore, by the way.

Rosette Halford No mention of Cancel? And, if you really have the mana for it, Counterbore is pretty nasty. if i have 1UU, id rather cast dream fracture for the extra draw

Cryptic Command honestly is my favorite to use.

I also prefer Cryptic Command. Yes, other counterspells cost less, or have impressive effects considering their cheap mana cost - but we aren't talking about cheap counterspells, but the best counterspell.
I believe Cryptic Command trumps the vast majority of the other counterspells because it offers the one thing that most of the aforementioned spells lack: versatility. For four mana, you can pick two effects out of countering a spell, bouncing a permanent, tapping all creatures an opponent controls, and drawing a card. Cryptic Command is the only counterspell that I know of that doesn't even have to be a counterspell in order to function well. If an opponent declares attackers with a full board - or one big creature - Force of Will, Mana Drain, Undermine, Counterspell, and Pact of Negation aren't going to save you.
It might not be the most pleasant use of Cryptic Command, but if it stalls the game and potentially draws an out in that situation, it's a better card. =x
