From what I can gather, in the real world, amorphous perform the best, followed by poly, followed by mono, despite what is said about monos being more efficient than poly's.
Best is subjective. What is best for your scenario would be a better way of putting it. Be in a normally sunny area and Mono's have the smallest footprint meaning you may get more watts on the roof. Amorphous are the low light kings but can you get enough on the roof to cover your needs. Polys are right in the middle with a slightly bigger foot print and not quite as much production in low light.
In our situation, we are right in the middle too with both intensely sunny mornings and cloudy afternoons being the norm. When the monsoon comes I don't think even amorphous would cover our needs but may stretch the battery a bit longer. We'd have the Champ if we were camping then so it wouldn't make a huge difference. (charge early and see if the panels couldn't hold float for the rest)
