why not all ?
I agree unless you say about ASICs. Its just a matter of time if an asic can be developed.

For sha-1, weaknesses have been found so I wouldn't pick it as the best.

You can pick anyone of the rest as the best, depending on your goals.
Are you sure theres even a sha1 coin?

There is, lol.

I don't think it can be exploited though...

scrypt-n and x11 is the best Smiley

uhm no quarks algo is better than x11, it has randomness hashing besides multiple hashing, x11 doesn't have that

I my opinion, i believe all of them are the best, since they are all secure.

Best is completely subjective and opinionated. There is no best - choose one which suits your needs more appropriately than the others.

You might say that one is "better" if it is more ASIC resistant, but that still depends if you think that ASICS are good or bad.

There is no best algorithm because all are sufficiently secure. Also, the fact that (for example) scrypt is slower that SHA-256 doesn't make it any better or worse.

With Bitcoin and so many alt coins, we see many hash algorithms, I'd like to see what is your opinions on which is the best algorithm?
- SHA-256
- SHA-1
- SHA-3
- Scrypt
- X11
-...
