Lee's are good filters, but not the best on the market. B+W and Singh Ray's I do believe would be considered 'best'.
A major advantage of the Lee Filter system is not being screwed in. It is much easier to put it in and out and also with their variable ND's you can change the angle/size of where the ND is. Both B+W and Singh Ray don't have this feature that I know of.
big advantage! SWM into chainsaws and hockey masks seeks like-minded SWF. No weirdos, please

But the thing about Singh-Ray is that their filters start out at 72mm on some of them requiring a stop down ring. And they do have standard square filters for Cokin, and Lee holders. Singh-Ray is considered the top by many pro shooters for good reason, they only make high quality, and do not have a lower tier product. Their variable NDs come in many flavors, and I wish I could justify spending that kind of money on the Vari-Duo ND+Polarizer, or the new Vari-Trio which has an added color enhancer. As I said I cannot justify spending $580 on a filter. Now if I was a lottery winner, then I would have all of their filters merely because I could.
Also I have not heard many complaints about color cast with theirs. I am not saying it does not happen, but on B&H I saw a review that said there was none. Until I win the lottery I will be stacking my Lees with my hand.
