Which Adventure Path is the best?
It depends on what your group likes to play. Give me a little information about your group and expectations of game play, and I'll vote in the poll.
What I can say about the three of them is that they're all very, very challenging. I have DMed Shackled City for the first three modules (of the hardcover). It became so difficult that our group abandoned it.

I vote Age of Worms, primarily for the villains/antagonists. I mean while Savage Tide does let you
, Age of Worms, you get the full scale menace of a god, some of his powerful cultists, and oh yeah, the original undead dragon of all time! 
Shackled City was good but since it was the first it suffers as all first things suffer from not enough forward thinking, a little too much exuberance, plus the fact you tend to stay in one area a tad too long. (If you don't like city adventures that is)
But to each his own.
fight Demogorgon and also do some nice sailing, especially in the Isle of Dread

I am DMing Savage Tide now, and will start the 3rd adventure next weekend. We are digging it.
I have the SCAP hardcover and the AoW AP in dungeon mags, though I haven't played in nor DMed either of these.

I voted for The Savage Tide. I loved the other two APs, especially The Age of Worms, but the third AP definitely benefits from the experience gained publishing the first two. The adventures are definitely better connected in terms of story, foreshadowing, and characters than the previous APs; they are better supported by the accompanying Dragon articles (i.e "Savage Tidings" and "The Ecology of the Isle of Dread"); there seems to be a lot more variation in the types of adventures and encounters; and The Savage Tide has a very distinct feel from the standard D&D experience which I love.
