"The best" depends on what you want to do with it...


One very well documented IR is WHIRL, which is the IR of
the Open64 compiler, see open64.sourceforge.net. One of
its many nice features is that it really is a family of
representations, which allows you to gradually lower from
a very high level representation to an almost-machine-code
representation.
