I guess that depends on your quality criteria.
I use slrn and think it's pretty decent. It has about all the navigation
and filter capabilities I need, displays text/plain in just about any
charset ok (as long as you stick to left-to-right scripts; But since I
can read neither Hebrew nor Arabic that's rarely a problem) and it lets
me edit my postings with my favourite editor (in fact it insists on it).
It is seriously deficient in the display of non-text/plain articles, but
those aren't common in any newsgroup I currently read.
I have also tried Thunderbird, KNode and Pan (although none of them
recently) but wasn't impressed.
