Who cares? Experiments are a tie: those different interpretations all make the same observable claims.
From there, which is best depends on what you care about most: is the first interpretation we came up with best, because "science"? Is the simplest interpretation best, because "Bayes"? Do stuff like locality, determinism etc. matter?
Me I side with Bayes, and that means Many Worlds/decoherence, which is simplest. Others would make another choice.
