That is kind of like asking who makes the best Pickup.
Good luck with getting a useful answer.
The life of your engine has a lot to do with how often you fly it and maintain it.
For example, I have an ECi kit engine (O-360) that I assembled myself, with the help of an IA. it has performed flawlessly for 500+ hours. Others haven't been so lucky with their engine.
Vlad has over 3000 hours or something crazy like that on his O-320, which has given him great service. (I'm not sure where his engine came from.)
I know one guy who's engine didn't make five hours. The good thing is that the engine builder stood behind him. However, his plane was stuck, tied down, outside in the weather, while he waited for his engine rebuild.
