Not sure I'd use the word best but I'd use the word bet on voluntarily flying on Russian built aircraft. They do have a bit of a reliability issue. In April only 7 of 22 of Interjet's Superjets could even fly as they cadge parts from 15 that are grounded.

I've seen Russian buses in Nicaragua nearly falling apart in a year while Mexican buses of the same age remain quite roadworthy. At least you can get off a bus one stop later.
