I know this was asked of Oliver but I really don't think there can ever be a definitive answer. Like Oliver, I've never served with any of these units but know a few people in the Australian SASR and TAG (Tactical Assault Group) East and West and have been reading and researching extensively.
I think it all boils down to the type of mission, type of conflict and location. Like Oliver pointed out there are lots of CT groups which are very very good at what they do without being military (GSG-9, French GIGN and the FBI's HRT). Then there are groups like Brazil's BOPE which specialize in Urban CQB in VERY close confines within the favellas of Rio. I don't think anyone can say that X is better than Y because within their community they seem to have a very healthy respect each other.
For example, Chris Ryan who was a SAS member, has done SAS, Delta and SF selection training. Even though, he already went through Tier 1 selection, he emphasized that the SF Q course was no joke and was as rigorous in its own way as Delta and SAS, it just demanded a different set of skills.
In SF, you're expected to train and lead Indigenous groups whereas in what he was doing in the SAS the emphasis was more on CQB, DA. It just requires a different mindset. Interestingly, he did say that for best pure shooting skills, he mentioned Poland's BOA (a police unit) had the best shooters he had ever seen.
