Best Democrat ever - Grover Cleveland.
Best Republican ever - Calvin Coolidge.
Only presidents since before the Civil War to campaign on and actually deliver smaller federal government. Coolidge was easily the most libertarian minded president since Madison, and the last of his kind.

I would tend to agree on both these. I would give Cleveland a slight edge though, because Coolidge did little to reverse course on things like prohibition and imperialism which had arisen between the '90s and the '20s.
Best Republican President? Abraham Lincoln
By today's standards he would make Obama look like a conservative.
Lincoln campaigned on left wing policies.
He was the most liberal republican in US history.
