It's pretty hard to rank them objectively. Some units are better trained and equpped at certain things than others.
I'll probably get a lot of flak for saying this, but in some respects, I don't think there's much that differentiates, say, a mature & experienced Ranger (or an Airborne infantryman from the 82nd, for that matter) from an SF operator when it comes to light infantry raids/direct action.
Many of the things that the SF Groups specialize in aren't necessarily things that bear out in the conduct of direct combat. Don't get me wrong, they possess a valuable array of unconventional warfare skills, but if we're talking "conventional" direct action, I'd say the Rangers and SF are pretty much equivalent.
I think just by virtue of their accumulated training though, I'd say Delta Force and DEVGRU are the top units in the USSOCOM community. I know the Air Force likes to think that the 24th STS is right up there with Delta and DEVGRU, but I'm not really sure about that. Both Delta and DEVGRU have been around for far longer than the 24th.
