None. Read real literature. Hippias Minor is objectively more important than this useless nonsense. Now go stroke your norwood 7 to that.

are you asking which is the best on-screen version of holmes?
it's obviously jeremy brett
there is a really good series of audiobooks of some of the holmes stories read by edward hardwicke who played watson in the brett series
the basil rathbone films of the 1930s/40s are also pretty good fun
the robert downey movies are basically just standard action thrillers. not really holmes.
i actually quite liked the first season of the benedict cumberbatch series but by season 3 it felt like the idea had played out.
as for books, anthony horowitz wrote a couple of decent "official" books a few years ago
bizarrely basketball player kareem abdul jabbar wrote a couple of books based on the holmes characters. i had a look at the first one, predictably it is actually about muh slavery

Hard to beat Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Although the films were somewhat uneven, their chemistry was great.

That said, I really do enjoy Cumberbatch's take, and that version of Watson is probably closer to the books.

Here's a really good pastiche, done straight, and a good radio adaptation, to boot: Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TX4rvB6mIs&t=1187s
