This is a loaded question because of animal cruelty issues. If you're looking for the best quality steak you'll have to defer to the Japanese and their Kolbe Beef. It's VERY expensive but if you really need to celebrate this is the steak you want. Just keep in mind you might have to refinance your house to afford it. If you're looking for a domestic alternative you could always go with the veal. Yes I know how it's raised, but you didn't say anything about that in your question.
As far as the best cut of meat, it's hard to argue with a good Standing Rib Roast (Prime Rib) When prepared correctly it can be an orgasmic experience.
However, if you want a great steak to thow on the Grill I would suggest a Boneless Ribeye. It has a bit of fat, but that also adds to the overall flavor of the meat. Just cut it away if you object.

some consider the filet mignon, or other cuts from the tenderloin to be the best, cause it's the tenderest cut of the cow. however, it has less flavor than other cuts, simply because the muscle is never used by the animal.
i like the rib steak best myself, and second, the porterhouse, which is the T-bone from the small end of the strip loin (New York steak) and the wide end of the tenderloin, so you have the best of both worlds with the more flavorful strip loin and the tender filet.

Depending on if you want flavor or tenderness. For tenderness a filet mignon that has been aged for a minimun of 21 days is very tender. If you are going for a flavorful steak then one that has the fat marbling through out is going to give you the best flavor. The "cheaper" cuts of beef are best cooked slowly over medium heat.

As fa as price the Filet mignon is the best, as far as taste to me the rib-eye is the best. When looking for a steak you want to see small lines of fat through it. Its called marbling.

Well, technically... they say the Porterhouse is the best cut. Everyone is different. I happen to like the Ribeye or the Filet Mignon. My husbands favorite is the t-bone.
Personal preference really and it depends on the breed of cow.

Filet Mignon is tender and is all steak, you are not paying for bone. It is also thick enough that you can cut one piece in half and it will be the right portion for two.

Most cheaped ones are good if you cook them slow, the only difference is name , and tenderness, usually the expensive ones arent best, and usually EXTREMELY greasy, which tastes better for most people, thus the cost, but tenderloin is no better any other unless there are garlic salt seasonings and stuff. But cheaper ones tend to be better due to you can cook them to be the same tenderness, and theres not differnce but more taste. Most expensive ones are more fat than meat too.
