I've bounced between most of them and honestly Crunchyroll still wins for variety, but if you're hitting buffering issues or annoyed by their interface, throwing a VPN at the problem sometimes opens up regional libraries that have better servers for your location - worth a shot before paying for another subscription.
What regions are you looking to watch from? Crunchyroll tends to have the broadest international library and simultaneous releases, though Netflix has been expanding their anime catalog significantly in recent years if you're already subscribed.
There's no single "best" since it really depends on your region and what shows you're after, but Crunchyroll tends to have the widest catalogue and strongest international reach these days. Netflix has solid anime too and sometimes exclusives, though their library varies wildly by country. If you're picky about subtitles and want everything in one place, Crunchyroll's usually the safer bet, but honestly it's worth checking what's actually available where you are before committing.
The main catch with Crunchyroll is that their app can be pretty clunky compared to Netflix's interface, and if you're in a region with spotty internet like I was on a work trip last year, buffering becomes a real headache. Netflix's anime selection has grown enough that if you're mainly into newer shounen and popular titles, you might actually get by fine without a second subscription, though Crunchyroll still wins for older series and niche stuff. Your best bet depends on whether you value library depth or smooth streaming experience more.
