In terms of clean transmitted signals, many of today's rigs are NOT "all
great" compared with many older rigs.
I've been disappointed to see how many of the replies to the original
post only talk about receive aspects when at least some of those same
recommended rigs have less than ideal performance (phase noise, IMD, key
clicks, etc) on transmit. Especially since those transmit problems mean
multiple other hams on the band can suffer on their receive side. The
original poster said "best", after all.
This brings to mind a completely different current topic, but let's just
say that human nature seems to prioritize consideration of self over
others even when it isn't in the best interests of self.

From a practical standpoint, your best CW Contest radio is the one that's
currently sitting on your desk, functional and hooked up to an antenna.
All the radios mentioned are excellent but many are priced out of reach for
many hams. Some might seem better than others but compared
to years ago, they're all great. Listening to the mostly empty bands
today, the best radio is one that gets you on the air and working people.
