Which rating method is the best?

Fide otb...you can have elo rating lichess 2000 but still noob at real otb tournament

That is true FIDE is the most accurate. But I wouldn't go that far with lichess 2000 being noob. I'm 2000 in some stuff (Chess.com is my main) I feel like 2000 is between weak intermediate and strong club player.

I would argue FIDE is inferior to online ratings, seeing that a typical person is much more active online than OTB, so the online rating usually has more information to work with, and also that Glicko-2 has statistical properties which are preferable to ELO.

One advantage for FIDE ratings is that people usually prepare for their games or are at least in a concentrated state, whereas online games may be played at 3am while someone is distracted without any concentration, for example.

You never said if it was to rate engines or people. @Srivaths2012
I like this rating systems.

Imagine downloading a tournament and using the tool to discover your own EAS rating.
