There is cudaminer, there is genoit miner, claymore miner.

What's the difference between all that?

Which one I use?

CUDAminer is for CUDA hardware https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA is this applicable to you?

I don't think anyone can say for sure what is best for all systems as there has not been a broad enough study conducted across the board.

So many variables...

Also, best miner for which algo?

Generally Claymore is a good developer and has high speed miners for most algos but they come with a fee.

Depends what type of card you have AMD or nVidia , and the coin you will mine , i can tell you for AMD (i don't have nVidia) that claymore is the best one for speed,stability and low power

Actually, while Claymore's ETH miner definetely is, Zawawa's performs just as well for XMR and has lower power usage. Plus, you don't have fees.

@OP: test the different available miners for yourself depending on what you're mining and decide for yourself. If you don't mind fees, by all means go Claymore all the way, but know there are alts that work just as well.
