Step 0: Define what "best" means in your environment.
What features do you need? Routing to a central aggregation server over TLS?
Powerful regex-based routing? Ingestion into a database (a la splunk or Elk)
for data mining? Ability to deal with insanely high message rates? Other
must-have or don't-care features? License pricing? Vendor support?
Step 1: After figuring out what you need, make a matrix of the available
options and how well they fit.
(We have in production syslog-ng, rsyslog, splunk, Elk, and probably a few
others I've forgotten, for different purposes....)
