So my question is, what do you consider to be the "best" hand? The made hand or the one with the highest winning %?

The made hand is the best hand. Which has absolutely nothing to do with whether you should be putting all the money in with the best hand. It's pretty obvious that if you have K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and the flop is J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], and your opponent has 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], he has the best hand, but he should fold if you move all-in (and the pot is small compared to the stack sizes.)

I don't consider the 8's here the "best" hand, and don't feel that distinction is of any help.
