The best one is the one that works for your images. Obviously there is no one single algorithm that works best for all natural images. Well, maybe not so obvious, because you asked. Eventually all images come down to blobs. You do whatever you have to do to get down to a gray level image that you can threshold into foreground and background blobs.
