Best All-Rounder

Pretty simple question: What is,in your opinion, the best all-rounder deck (regardless of any meta) between Selesnya, Rakdos or Gruul?
I personally prefer the Selesnya over them all because of how easy it is to mana ramp with it and send out high powered creatures, plus it has the boon of life gain on the large scale. For example, in my Selesnya fatty deck, I have a Worldspine Wurm , card:Avacyn's Pilgrim, and Llanowar Elves . For the life gain part, I just throw in some angels and a Seraph Sanctuary .

In what format? Constructed or limited?
I think, in either case, Rakdos wins the battle. Its creatures simply give you the most bang for your buck and are very aggressive. Selesnya needs a turn or two longer to really build up an aggressive board and we currently don't know enough about Gruul to make any safe assumptions.

Rakdos makes good use of both burn and aggressive creatures. From the mere fact that it is flexible enough to win in two compeltely separate ways it gets my vote. Selesnya has a fatal flaw in board clearing spells. Gruul isn't around yet so I'm not sure.
