I find FX to be the best of the bunch for a while now, and I think it's precisely because they're like the non-ticking-boxes, less-formulaic weird little brother to the others: Atlanta, Fargo, Louie, Always Sunny, Better Things, and Legion.

And that's not even mentioning the 'classics': Justified, Terriers (underrated, must-watch!), The Shield, as well as the earlier season(s) of Sons of Anarchy and The Americans.

Not sure about the others, but Louis CK took a substantially smaller offer financially from FX as opposed to other networks because they were the only one that allowed him to do what he wanted with little interference, which certainly sounds like a positive thing for making original content.
