Best X86 Assembler - FASM vs NASM vs MASM?

So I'm looking to learn x86 assembly and I wanted to know which assembler is the best.

I hear FASM is the fastest assembler, NASM is buggy, and MASM is Macro$hit so it is probably slow and integrated with .net

nasm or fasm would be best to learn on. gas isn't really meant to be used independently of gcc these days, and the syntax differences, while small, will prove confusing to a beginner. Avoid masm at all costs - its macro ``syntax'' is gross even for the experienced; a novice will probably spend more time damaging their programs to accommodate the macros than they will actually learning to write for x86.

Sounds like gas to me.
