Hard is Not an aspiring element to quote a player having the, 'Best Stroke.'
Why not?
Being able to be brutal and also delicate with the same arm is a stroke skill that many will never master.
The Best players don't need to 'Master' that particular skill set, when they can control the balls on their shots or opponents leaves.
I can demonstrate getting 12 cushions which does require Force, but Not that much accuracy.
Here's 9 rails without much effort, but with accuracy.

I'm more impressed with a player who creates minimal cue ball movement, using minimal swing speed and always works/strikes the near middle of whitey.
Like Filler in dead punch, or SHAW.
These guys just punch/walk the cue ball around in its simplest form.
Object ball almost always, has little or/no rotation applied to it, ball wants to turn inward when hitting a pocket facing at a high speed.
Also Ruiz has this ability.
Workin' the middle of the cue ball.
Stroke tho, Shaw.... I've seen em draw the ball 20' hitting 3 cushions.
Kaci too hits that ball square/but not a flat/punch style.

My vote for overall stroke is Buddy Hall. His hesitation at the end of the backswing is the start of a near perfect stroke.
Is this you? That is an amazingly smooth stroke.
I have to plead 'Guilty' Joe.
Not that hard to do on a fast cloth heated billiards table with billiard balls.
Nice table! Looks like a Brunswick Anniversary.
BTW, I use to get 9 rails on an 'unheated' Brunswick Carom table with ivory balls.
If the 'Angles' on a Pool table allowed, I would get 9 cushions on it also!
With custom moveable pockets!
All this talk, reminds me of the pool room Shakespear's in Denver Yrs ago.
For measureman, You commented, it's a 'Heated' table.
BTW, the cloth was about 3 months old in this video.
This is from 1983 on a, 'Unheated' Brunswick Anniversary 3C table.

Billiard balls are actually quite a lot heavier and need even better stroke than pool. Try hit fast shot from another end of table and hit balls with precision. After we got billiard table in our club, i started understand how good little Cho and Kang hit those shots...
Im not slouch myself either and can juice balls quite a lot.
This was my draw challenge i did threw out couple years ago.
Yeah i think the same. If you can´t hit balls with speed or slow you have weakness in your game! I think best stroke is what can hit balls with any spin and any speed with accuracy!
