what style washing machine cleans clothing the best? 
Well that depends on a number of factors including detergent used and water temp for the wash.
Other than that, personally I would say, #1 A std efficiency top load with a real agitator. #2 A modern HE front load washer. Period. Don't waste your time with an HE top loader with the wash plate (corkscrew auger included or not).

Got to agree, run from any wash plate top loading machine. At this point I would only buy a front loading machine having used all 3. | ||

Myself....I have never used a wash plate machine so I cannot speak about one. I have friends with them and they love them. But I grew up with traditional agitator washers. Then in 1997 I saw the light and got my first front loader, an Asko. I'm still using that same Asko. I just prefer the front loader to a top loader washer because: 1 - My clothes are cleaner (to me) than when I had a GE filter flo washer! Stains that wouldn't come out in the GE washed out in the Asko 2 - They last longer.....still using some towels I bought in 2004, and have been used regularly. 3 - Less water consumption 4 - Higher spin speeds.....at that time, new top loaders just couldn't compete 5 - More rinses.....again, at the time I got mine, it was standard with 4 automatic rinses. My house has a water softener...so multiple rinses are a must, even while using less detergent than one would normally use in hard water.
Again, these are MY reasons. Your mileage may vary. Get whatever works for you and you enjoy. | ||

Personally
...this is my opinion.
I would say a real European front loader. Not because I'm European, I've used an American GE filter-flo top loader, a Korean Daewoo plate top loader but only European front loader satisfied me. The main reason is the ability to perfectly clean whites. For me a washing machine is good only if it is able to perfectly clean whites without bleach. The second reason for me is the gentleness, so the ability to wash in the machine even extremely delicate hand washables. Agitators increas friction, pilling and fuzzing on the surface of clothes even in high water levels. Real profile wash from cold to hot, so better stain removal and not set in stains, high temperatures, higher spin speeds, much gentler on clothes, more rinses .... these are some reasons I personally prefer front loaders. But if you have your own reasons that are different from mine you can get whatever works good for you :-) | ||

if you went a true hot water wash warm water 
if you went a good washer with a true hot water wash warm water wash with a true warm rinse if you need a warm rinse i would suggest a vintage washer as most modern washer have dumb down the water temp at fill this means that hot water is warm and warm water wash is more like a cool water wash but only you can decide since you are the buyer no one can decide for you and it all depends on your needs pictures are for an exemple credit to the member who originaly posted the pictures that i only saved up on my computer
