Killer looks? I'm not sure about that, but I'd agree about how good an umpire Taufel is. Difficult to say if he's the best considering we still have some of the best and most experienced umpires ever namely Bucknor and Shephard around. I rate Aleem Dar fairly highly as well. I also think Billy Bowden is very under rated. I don't like the way certain fans ridicule him for the way his goes about his signalling, I don't think he comprimises on his concentration doing all that. And he's made some very good decisions over the last 2 years or so. Harper, Hair and Dave Orchard are all respectable. It's hard really to say whose the best.

Ironic though that even with so many good umpires around, people still complain about poor umpiring standards all the time.
