this question will never have a definite answer, it falls to personal preference...
there have been many great players, all of which were amazing in their own right, however it is simply impossible to determine who was the "best ever" due to the obvious difficulties involved with comparing players from different eras, and also the fact that many great players were so good because of unique individual attributes. For example, all the goals Pele scored may make him the best goal-scorer / finisher of all time, whereas Maradona's ability to beat 6 or 7 players on one of his mazy dribbles may make him the best dribbler of all time. some may also be better tacklers, passers, headers, goalkeepers etc. However, just as an aside, with all the dozens of names being banded about......surprising not to heard a shout out for George Best? Personally I think he was amazingly talented and should be up there on anyone's shortlist!!..i saw many videos for George Best and he was amazing...just like pele and maradona
for your question however i prefer pele because his character is way better than maradona's

Pele is to soccer what Buddha is to buddhism, Christ is to Christanity & Guru Nanak to Sikhism. Pele is the creator, soccer is his created. When Pele played for BRAZIL, they won the FIFA world cup 4 consecutive times between 1958 to 1970, whereas Maradona won only 2 world cups for Argentina - FIFA 1978 & FIFA 1986.

PELE is and always will be the king of football. Maradona is just right after him though and I agree with the other answer that brought up George Best.

this question has been asked many times here & the only answer is definitely Pele @ Edson Arandes Do Nacimento of BRAZIL.
