Different styles for different people.
I enjoy the Snake, leopard, and dragon styles.

Rep Power: 54 | | | I wasn't aware that there was a tiger system, I thought that was incorporated into the 5 animals?

As for there being individual Tiger styles, 5 Animals is a compilation system that also branches into a complete system for each animal itself, so a complete Tiger style would not be unheard of, depending on it's mother system and if they teach it that way, ours does. |

Have to agree here. Though if I remember right all three of those are from Shaolin 5 Animal form origianally. Just became a substyle then a style as the years went on.
As Seh and Sammie both have said there is no best. Only one that fits the person best and when it is practiced with Intent. Personally, from what little I know, I am best suited for the Dragon, tiger, karate, and Bak Mei Styles. Basically styles that are classified as hard styles with the exception of dragon, styles that specialize in breaking there opponents through brute force. |
