I won't argue on the "best" as its debatable, but I do a little bit agree on "realistic".

The issue is, however, that things aren't so black and white. Kaito in V1 had samples more like his provider then in V3, while V3 was voice acted to match the tone of V1. So back in V1 his voice was more realistic... However... Saying that you have the ugliness of the V1 engine to note and how crude it was... No vocal in V1 could successfully imitate their provider well

On the other hand, the software Gackpoid isn't 100% realistic and his package name pretty much translates to "Gackt-like Vocaloid" for this reason. It is meant to have the traits of Gackt's vocal, but isn't a realistic portrayal of him ness. When you consider it can be regarded that the miki vocal as the most realistic of the professional vocals prior to the entries of the VY series towards the end of V2 era... And that Megoid was more realistic then Gackpoid...

"Realism" is one of those hit or miss debates in Vocaloid... Some say Una is realistic as she sounds like her provider... I pointed out upon her release its not a accurate portrayal of a 11 year old therefore enters another issue of realism. The thing leads to a sort of divide in opinion on what makes a vocal "realistic". And in the end it doesn't ness. contribute to much... Len is not realistic, nor is Ryuto, but they have their fans. Vocaloid is a franchise wherein you can have a strong presence in the fandom (SeeU) but sell crap, yet another product can sell well (Avanna) and have barely any presence in the fandom. And the most popular Vocaloid is not noted for her realism at all (Miku) and got popular because she sounded cute.

And given that Gackpo has a reputation for his Gackpoid software being difficult to work with and Kaito being noted for his flexibility and ability to fill a wide variety of roles, I tend to feel Kaito comes off better then Gackpo in overall respects. :-/
