Tom... No such bird as the HU-1
Now the UH-1 Huey I would agree with.
UPDATE:
LMAO between reading and posting Tom, you corrected your mistake.. LOL
To the Asker directly. your question is not one with a definative answer. Really it has no answer at all because the Helicopters cannot be compared as they have totally different missions. If you want to compare an Apache to a Cobra, or a Blackhawk to a Huey... thats a different story, but to ask which is best period... is just a stupid unanswerable question

Thats kind of a vague question. They each have different purposes. The apache is strictly an attack helicopter while the Chinook is a transport helicopter. The blackhawk has the capability to transport while still having some offensive firepower. So to ask which one is the best, you are leaving the question quite open ended.

As everyone else says, there isn't an answer to this. I fly Apaches and they can cover all but the troop lifts, we are even having a modification to undersling loads this year. 11000lbs of load, hooah!

As others have pointed out, they cover completely different missions !!
However, as an old Seahawk crewman (3300+ hours), I have to go with the Blackhawk !

The UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) is a tough act to follow. There isn't a type of mission that it hasn't been used for.

Depends on the mission.
For fire power Apache
For big haul it goes to Chinook.
When you are pin down any thing that gets you out of Dodge.

I prefer the AH-6 little bird or the MH-53E. Both extremely badass birds.

Blackhawk.
Most versatile.
Not very combat efficient, but it can fit weapons. It can be used for pretty much anything.
