There is no such thing. What's ideal for one person may be unusable to another.
Decide what specs you need, what your budget is, then find something you like that fits within both.

Yea, I've always said, decide what you want to pay first, then find what works best using that predetermined amount.

Will be interesting to see how they differentiate it from the Ultra

I agree with @Hadron and @NightAngel79. My wife has an iPhone and iPad, and those devices have made me a confirmed Android user, but I seem to be in the minority, at least in the U. S. Also, Samsung seems to have the most popular Android phones, and I've owned many Samsung flagship phones, Notes and S series, but I always seem to prefer phones from LG, OnePlus, and Google.
You are right that it's only in the US where preferring Android to iOS might put you in a minority. Worldwide Android phones massively outsell iOS, and even in other Western countries iPhones are a minority.
Samsung are the most popular (and most profitable) Android brand in a very large part because more than a decade ago they made a strategic decision that they would spend whatever it took to do that (having been late and frankly undistinguished entrants into the mobile phone business). And backed by a corporation whose turnover accounts for 1/4 of S. Korea's GDP they could afford to spend more on marketing alone (which includes incentives to stores to push their phones) than many of their competitors' entire incomes. So really with the resources they threw at it they'd have had to do something very badly wrong if they couldn't make their devices popular (don't get me wrong, they make some nice devices, but I'm always aware of just how much they've spent on promoting them).
