It'd be awesome if you lived in a world where everyone was not only good, but also willing to toe the line and pull their own weight in society. But at the same time, there would arise those who would seek to exploit the system (human nature, you know), which is why you'd need a healthy dose of chaotic good souls to oppose those exploiters and neutral goods to work both within and against the system when required.I think one of the big misconceptions about lawful good is that lawful good characters are supposed to be intolerant and want everyone else to share their views. This isn't the case, a lawful good character should be willing to lead or follow as the situation demands. A lawful good character should largely be tolerant of others as long as they aren't evil, have some sort of role in the larger society (and societies do need rebels and outsiders to stay viable, so there's no reason a lawful good character would necessarily dislike chaotic or neutral goods), and generally make something of their lives.But I didn't vote on which alignment is "best," because that of course depends too much on the character in the we're-playing-a-game sense.</blockquote>
