They all work. You just have to understand HOW they work and HOW they should be used.
The Bergers and similar will probably give you more DRT results, but are not a good choice for shooting a fleeing animal in the butt and expecting penetration. Put one in the lungs and they kill right now. Since they expand well at lower velocity and have very good BC's they are good at longer ranges.
The TTSX's need speed to work. They are a good choice where you have to shoot larger game with a rifle traditionally considered bordeline for the job. As long as they are used at moderate range before velocity starts to drop off they do the job.

The accubonds retain 80 percent or more of there weight when shot in the same wood.

The TTSX's will typically retain 100% or darn close. This means that a 165 gr Accubond will actually weigh about 130 grains after impact. You can start with a 130 gr TTSX, shoot it 300 fps faster and end up with the same penetration and expansion. Shoot the 165 gr TTSX at the same speed as the 165 Accubond and expansion will suffer, although penetration will still be good.
For most people, shooting most game at normal ranges traditional jacketed bullets still work just fine. But overall I agree with you. I'd probably choose the Accubond as the best overall of the premium bullets.
