I've been really impressed with Rebound Rumble. It's clear that the GDC put a lot of thought into it, including how the different components interact. I haven't been involved long enough to claim "Best Ever", but RR is up there.

It may be that the Kinect interface isn't efficient enough for effective use during the 15 seconds of hybrid, but there are plenty of opinions like the above, as well as the fact that few (at FLR), if any (at DC, if I remember correctly), robots actually used the kinect interface, that I just don't understand.
With the Kinect interface, you basically have human control of the robot during the bonus phase of the match, and situations that aren't trivial to code for autonomous (to wit, collecting missed shots or getting and shooting balls from the co-op bridge) that can benefit from that human control.
