On thrust:weight ratio, the high-thrust Rolls-Royce-powered 757-200s apparently have no peer among commercial a/c. Looks like it's 17% of maximum takeoff weight (and I doubt most 757s are loaded to this weight). Looks like it's 15.3-16% for the 767-300ERs and -200ERs. The newer 777s are in the 14-3-14.8% range.
