HTC one- best OEM overlay(in MY opinion), best sound and speakers, best build quality, best screen
Galaxy S4- microsd card slot and removable battery plus a bunch gimmicky extra software that I don't care for
LG G2- Best Camera on any Android in the states, big battery, faster CPU than previous 2
Nexus 5- Stock Google Experience, First dibs on updates.
Moto X- Near stock experience and fairly quick updates. Touchless controls
Lumia 1020-Camera first smartphone second. Best camera out of all phones
There is no best. Everything has pros and cons

Personally it depends on what you plan to do with the phone. Watch a lot of videos and listen to a lot of music? Htc one hands down. If you enjoy a smaller form factor with a near stock android experience plus great features you can't find on any other device, then the moto x it is. If you are a spec geek that loves stock android, then the nexus 5 is for you.
I speak from experience as I own all three of those devices I listed.
Originally purchased the HTC one when it was released , and love the device. Nothing compares to the dual stereo front facing speakers. That combined with a super pixel dense display and you have the best media consumption device, hands down. 468ppi on 4.7inches lcd3. It spoils you. Htc sense is also super intuitive and I enjoy what it has to offer. The build quality of the HTC one is also amazing. The all aluminum unibody design fits great in the hand, and feels cool to the touch when it has been sitting. I have used both stock android and sense ROMs on it, and both are great. As far as the camera goes, its a fantastic all around camera. Sure it may not have the highest resolution however its micron size is 2.0 allowing for significantly more light to be absorbed, resulting in fantastic low light capabilities. Also this device Is significantly larger than other 4.7inch display devices such as the moto x due to its dual front facing speakers dubbed boomsound.
As far as the moto x goes, I was originally skeptical due to the specs. However after using one for a few months I have to say it offers the best android experience, IMO. Its near stock android feel wins me over, and the unique features it Has to offer are very useful and spoil you. Once you get used to active display / notifications you will never go back! The level of software optimization going on is also outstanding. This device is amazingly smooth and efficient. Due to its added natural language processing and contextual computing cores , it can dedicate certain tasks to those cores which in turn takes some of the load off the CPU. I have to say the moto x runs chrome (a program notorious for hogging resources) faster and smoother than most quad core devices I have used. Its nearly non existent side bezels make for a great form factor.
Now last but not least the Nexus 5. Obviously I have spent more time with the HTC one and moto x as the n5 is newer, however I have been using it since released and have to say I have been really enjoying it. I enjoy the subtle understated design, and the specs are top notch. Combine all of that with quick updates and you have the best 349$ unlocked phone out there. If off contract is key, the nexus 5 rocks. Keep in mind the moto x is on sale for 350 on Monday.
Food for thought. Hope it helped.

LG is terrible at updates.
HTC ONE would be my favorite if I had to choose a favorite but everything has pros and cons
I'd like a 3000 Mah battery on the One, 5"+ screen, And if they're sticking to that Ultrapixel thing then at least bump it up to 8 Ultra pixel.
The current camera on the One is decent but there's room for improvement.
For me it would be a battle between the Note 3 and G2. I love the capably-fast that the devices are.

Droid Maxx. It is the most underrated phone out there, yet it is probably the best smartphone. It has a huge battery and a nice size screen. It's like the Moto X, but better.

My favorite phones I had were iPhone 4s (all iPhones) then my Nexus 5 i liked my GS4 but not a lot
Right now I am loving my BlackBerry Z30. I love the fact that I get the great BlackBerry communication experience as well as run Android apps. Feels like best of both worlds.
Other then that I am really happy with my Windows Surface tablet. I know it's not a phone, which is what you asked about. Still considering how much I disliked the Win Phone 8 device i had, I was pleasantly surprised with the tablet.
