That´s a difficult thing to ask for. There´s civs better at open maps like arabia, better on closed maps like arena, better at water maps, better at team games, and also depends on the level of play, there´s civs that work great at low level of players but are not good at high level.
Best for what?

There's no general best civ as it depends on the map and matchup. But generally speaking, Franks are straight forward and strong.

-Franks are the best starter civ, specializing in the one unit the whoel game is balanced around, and have 3 mandatory economic upgrades for free, and with immediate effect, every Age Up, while also having a Berry bonus in the Dark Age, ensuring you are never starved for Food.
-Mayans are the best pro civ, but have SEVERAL BRUTAL HARDCOUNTERS, to keep them in line, that they are almost helpless against, if the opponent has similar skill to yours.

Byzantines
- Good beginner Civ, strong on almost every map and every opposing Civ

Portuguese
- Strong on almost every map, thought just slightly above average on hybrid maps with small ponds

You'll get a lot of different answers because there is no civ that's flat out the best in all fields. A lot of people are going to mention the Franks, I'll add Mongols.

I forgot to mention Mongols

They have a strong early game thanks to +2 LOS on their Scouts and faster hunt, and a strong end game thanks to their Drill (Siege) Onagers, Mangudais, Hussars deathball.
They were not considered to be one of the big guys because they have a weak Castle Age... until people figured out how strong Castle Age Steppe Lancers are.

They are strong on open maps, hybrid maps, water maps and above average on closed maps.

The best civ is the one you're best at playing with.

Byzantium of course

While Britons having the best unique units is debatable, I do think that they are one of the strongest civilizations on AoE II: DE similar to Franks and Malays.

Not by winrate, they are not.

Tell me their percentage of winrate then for multiplayer. Also need to take into an account their unique civilization and tech bonuses as well. A pro player especially I would like to think would be very good at playing as the Britons on multiplayer. Also, what map(s) do Britons work best with for multiplayer? Arena maps? Black Forest maps? You also did not specificy if you were referring to Britons, Malays (obviously work best with multiplayer water maps, but might also be descent for other maps as well), or Franks; although, I think that Franks can be ruled out since you mentioned them earlier.
