I'm German and I follow the Bundesliga cause...I'm German.
But best to watch is (English) Premier League for sure. Money buys quality. All these international stars even in the average teams.
You got at least on big match almost every matchday.
And not to forget the great stadiums with the lifeblood-fans. England is the mother nation of football/soccer.
Also I like the english commentary.

the best is definitely the premier there is great quality. But I am honest. I really like the Argentine league. Anyone can win against anyone. It will not necessarily be the league with the best quality, but it is more exciting and it is played with other intensity.
The English PL, for its strength in depth, anyone can beat anyone, any time. It's not as skillful right across the league as the continental European big leagues for me (like Spain, Italy, France, Holland, Portugal), but it makes up for that in terms of the sheer pace and physicality of the game.
Best club in Europe currently - Bayern Munich/ Manchester City?
Best country, don't know, but I don't think it's England (sorry English fans...).

I don't think the premier league is the best in the world at all, and I'm English. It just goes around saying it's the best in the world and enough people believe it that it becomes a self-fulfilling thing. The only thing it's best in the world at is marketing.
All the best players end up at Real Madrid, Barcelona and to an extent Bayern. Even Man Utd and Liverpool have been used as stepping stones in recent years for players to get there.
As for "competitiveness", with the 5000-1 exception of Leicester, and Liverpool last season, the only time Man Utd or Arsenal haven't won it in the last 30 years were when the richest club at the time won it instead (Blackburn with Jack Walker's money, Chelsea with Abramovich's money and Man City with the Abu Dhabi bankroll).
Put it another way, the Charity/Community Shield (England's "Super Cup") - since 1996, there's only been 3 exceptions to it not being contested by 2 of Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal (Portsmouth in 2008, Wigan in 2013 and Leicester in 2016) - so 45 of the 48 sides who have contested it have been one of those 5. In what universe is that competitive? Yes, anyone can beat anyone on their day. That happens in all leagues. Barcelona and Real Madrid suffer unexpected defeats to struggling teams during their league season. The difference is the media don't go round spouting about how that's what makes La Liga great because it's so unpredictable.
I know I'm mentioning Barcelona and Real Madrid as if they're the only 2 clubs in Spain, but even there, Athletico Madrid and Sevilla have had great domestic and European success recently,, and going further back Valencia, Villareal and prior to their financial troubles, Deportivo and Real Sociedad have all competed for the title there or won or reached the final stages in Europe.
As for quality, pick any random weekend. Watch the Premier League goals round up and the La Liga and Serie A goals round up and get back to me about which league is better 🙂

Personally, I love LA LIGA because my team, Real Madrid, is in that league, I just see the games of that team, but the most complete league is the preier league because it has more equal teams and with very high squads, Great players spend their years in that league to improve themselves, they have great stars in that league I go to chelsea.
English premier league. Much better when there are fans - gives the home team a big advantage. Like the fact that all of their fields are grass. Games are usually competitive. If they could improve the refs, and come up with some new uniform colors (Claret and blue seems to be used by half the league) there would be no other contenders.
Among the major European leagues, the best is undoubtedly the Premier League (England). This year the Serie A (Italy) league is more competitive than in other years, as well as the La Liga (Spain). But in general, we all know who will win and this makes the public lose interest.
German and French championships are also very obvious. The German, the people who watches, is just to know if Bayern will win for 6 or 7 goals and if Lewandowski will score four or five goals, so, I'm not interested.
