Henry Ford said, "You can't tell much about a machine until it is old. Then you can see what it has done and how it did it. It's like an old man".
Well, I think "best" has to be a combination of current "worth" and quantity of survival. By this definition, Henry's own Model F wouldn't be included anymore. If "old" goes to 1975, then the Ford 2000, 3000, 4000 would be right up there.
Small tractors have the most current demand.

Ford 9N 2N 8N and later versions
Allis B-C-CA
Farmall H
Case VAC
John Deere B

Now if you were to base it on value of service to the original farmer, Ones that he'd keep till he quit farming, I'd nominate these:

John Deere R diesel
Farmall Super MTA
Massey Harris Ferguson 444 Diesel
Minneapolis Moline Z
Oliver 77
