That would depend on what you mean with "best".

AFAIK, of the three you mentioned, Erlang is in widest use, but that
doesn't mean that it is "the best", either (but it'll be easier to
find real-world examples).

And just to make a bad situation worse, let me throw out Clojure, for
when you are dealing with a JVM, F# if you are dealing with .NET (I
have no idea about Mono support), or Scheme if you are coming from a
LISPing background (pardon the pun).

(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.
