I dunno. A tremendous engine, in terms of reliability, durability, power production, noise, harshness, vibration is the 90 degree Buick V6. It first was introduced in 1961...for 1962 Buick, bought by Jeep, then bought back by GM in the '70's and used in various iterations till 2008, when I think the production line was finally shut down.
I have one, in our '07 Buick LaCrosse. Great engine.
I'm not the only fan, believe it was selected as one of the 10 best engines of the 20th century...Wards or something, can't recall. Can't forget the turbo Buick V6 in the Buick GNX....the hot car of the '80's.
An engine that was used in racing of different types.
Engine type preference is a personal thing. I think vertical twin motorcycle engines (Triumph, BSA, Norton) are better than V Twins (Harley, Ducati) or opposed twins (BMW)....but others differ and sometimes vehemently.;)
So in the end, I think it all comes down to preference and opinion.
