Note that the question asks best mentor - so, not necessarily most successful mentor by wins ;-)

Nicole had a disaster with all of her acts on the US show and last season with the girls. But she did well with the boys the previous year. Gary cared for his acts but tactically attacked other contestants, rather hypocritical. Louis is cheese, even with decent acts.
I agree about Kelly. She was excellent and actually provided insightful criticism to all acts. I felt sorry for her actually as I think she was shocked at how the show worked and how little it was actually about talent and more about a tv show. I'm not surprised she didn't come back. She's so much better than the show.
Kelly was particularly good with Little Mix, and it annoys me that Tulisa gets the credit for that. But whilst I agree with everything you're saying, she was all for taking the money to appear on the US version so can't have been that disappointed with how the show works. She should've been on the US show from series 1 though, with Nicole joining the UK panel that year instead. It could well have been a different story for the UK show if it had been done that way.
I know it will be an unpopular opinion but I also think Louis is a great mentor. He ALWAYS sticks by his acts (even when they're terrible) and knows exactly what will and won't get votes. When he has a great act, always do well but he just tends to get lumbered with the rubbish categories.
British media is a whole different animal.
I'm loving her on XF Aus.
