The pmc guys f bt get drugged tested and get paid a shit ton more like 3 times more so I see where you are coming from.
SAS the reason I put them at 1 is that not only do they go through a shit ton of combat training they also trian with MI 5 . They are the closest you get to James bond.

I guess it all comes down to what the situation is, as special forces by nature are going to be specialized towards certain scenarios. I mean if you are judging by number of kills it would be one, stealth another, recon, S&R, and close quarters combat probably each have several types of units, and the amount of resources and intel they have is going to vary by each scenario. In the end a special forces unit can only be as good as leaders of the larger army supporting it.

I'm sure there's some more of them hidden in the shrubbery, but those two cats sitting in the middle of the pic stand out like a sore thumb.

Having spent a large portion of my army time around special operations units, either going though their qualifications, being attached to them downrange, having friends that went on to make it into them or being in schools with them, I'd say US Army Special Forces. Not necessarily because they're better trained (though their training is rigorous and highly specific, you're looking at about a year and half before making it to a team as a benchwarmer with the most "basic" job as a weapons specialist, maybe 2 1/2 as a medic) but because of their overall mission and training intent, which is to train guerilla fighting forces. On top of that they receive just as much direct action training as other SOGs. Send them in, they can handle themselves in combat, and they can raise an army of fighters, engineers, communication specialists, and medics.
But the others all have their merits as well and really any comparison is moot. Downrange right now in modern combat they all kinda do the same job regardless of specific unit or nationality. Delta operators might be considered more elite but their application is a lot more specific.

None you ever heard of. All the major governments have units that can go in to an area sterile (with no identifation or anything made in their home country) to conduct clean sweeps of areas (kill every living thing) or collect intelligence. They all deny that they do it including our own military but we all really do it. The kind of "on the books" commandos like Seal teams and so forth do a lot of classified missions and so forth but not into the extent of the real black units, the ones that don't officially exist anywhere. One guy showed me his military service record, I can't write much about what he told me, but I saw his record. His entire record was redacted, just his name and some dates on the top and the entire two page service record was black magic marker.

Well I think these days that is where alot of the PMCs come in. It is sort of a legal grey area what they can and can't do on foreign soil and it seems like the people who run them are the same sorts of people who have great influence behind the scenes in our government. They really have no need to have an extensive black ops as they're essentially private operations now anyway.
