I don't know how you would evaluate such a thing as "best security team," but Project Zero certainly attracts a high calibre of security expert. If you're into breaking things, why wouldn't you want to break things with other bright people and the support of a massive corporation?

They're definitely world class, but they're also loud about it. Consider that other teams perhaps have a different model. For instance, Microsoft's internal team surely finds lots of clever bugs that never get talked about in Microsoft products.

I assume the NSA finds and quietly stockpiles some very clever vulnerabilities, too.
