"Best" is subjective based on your criteria, but for us the Ascent is best. We cross-shopped Kia/Hyundai (poor long-term reliability), Pilot, and Grand Highlander. For adults in the third row Pilot and GH are better. For awd and safety Ascent is better. When you factor in cost, Ascent is way better as ours was $10-15K less than Pilot, even greater difference to GH.
Thanks for a very detailed, real-world, review.

The Ascent Onyx trim is a heck of a bargain for a great family suv!
