Long answer: it depends on what you want to do. With the exception of Gravity, every primary set is a contender for the top spot on the right team in the right circumstances.

My Mind/Cold character is the "best" team character, because he can get the drop on enemies with Mass Confusion before they even know the team is there.

My Illusion/Trick Arrow character is the "best" team character because he can tank and retains the full AoE control potential of a Controller.

My Ice/Radiation character is the "best" team character because he is a walking cloud of lockdown armed with an AoE heal and massive debuffs.

My Earth/Storm character is the "best" team character because he offers so many control powers.

My Ice/Thermal character is the "best" team character because his heals, buffs, slows, and knockdowns disregard mezz protection and to some extent defense.

My Earth/Thermal character is the "best" team character because the blend of fast recharging holds and stuns mixed with buffs and heals keep teammates alive forever.

My Elec/Force Field is the "best" team character because his shields keep the team alive and prevent him from being stunned or held while he uses his endurance drain abilities up close.

My Fire/Sonic is the "best" team character because... wait, no. This one sucks due to having no blue bar. One day maybe I'll both to take him over to villain side to get a faster recharging endurance recovery power. Til then, ugh, mothballed.

Anyway, the point is there is no "best" team character. There are, however, lots of "very good" ones.
