It's widely considered that the USA makes the best military aircraft simply because we can spend the most money. While other countries have to pool their resouces to create next generation aircraft (or just go the route of building more, but inferior aircraft) the USA can afford to build the super plane that specializes in one thing.
For instance the F-15 is so good at air superiorty (shooting down other planes) not one hass ever been shot down! Neither has the Stealth Bomber which has been into many hot spots now.

Overall? The U.S. The Tornado, the Typhoon and some russian
planes are all excellent "work planes". I don't think there's a match
for the Typhoon in its roll atm. The Tornado is despite its age
still one of the best low altitude planes. But there's nothing that
competes with the USAF cold war weapons. The SR71 at the
top of it. Mainly because of it's age. Then there's the B1B and
the B2. They're expensive and likely not really worth the money.
But that wasn't the question :)

US has some killer aircraft. We have the F22 Raptor, F18, F16, F117a "stealth", even back to WW2 with the P51d. We have quite a slew of good helicopters too.

In terms of efficency I'd say russia. Their jets cost much less than American jets, need less maintenance and reach almost the same performance.
