I am not sure there is such a thing as the "best" P&S - or anything else that is universally "best" without any qualifications. If you can tell us a vit about your shooting needs and wants, the crowd here can give you much more informed opinions and suggestions.
Your suggestion of the DSC-RX100 is certainly a worthy one. I would probably consider the Fujifilm X100, which is currently on sale for $999 at B&H - but I realize that for many (if not most), the non-zooming lens makes it a non-starter.
Other contenders could be the Samsung EX2F and Panasonic Lumix LX7. For some users, the Sigma DP2 Merrill just might be the thing.
And so on.
Cheers,
