Didn't mean for this to end up as a haiku, but sod it, it did...
The best Firefly villain?
Wash's T. Rex.
His is an evil laugh.

I don't know how good that is as a haiku, but I like it. And Wash's T. Rex is certainly the FUNNIEST villain.

My vote for the best villan would have to be the whole gorram Allience.
Whatever evil individuals do compares NOTHING to the power of an evil totallitarian state.

This question is multifacetted.
Early, the BlueHands, and the Reavers are all great villains IMHO, but I'm gonna have to vote for Early, 'cause he's the most unique.
I've encountered BlueHand and Reaver analogues before --plus, they're an impersonal force. As intimidating as that can be, Early is more interesting from a character point of view.
Sure, he's a terrifying villain, but Early's the kind of bad guy you can strike up a fascinating conversation with, and who, as much as you want to escape, you can't seem to want to leave. I mean, did anybody not say to themselves "I'll miss him" in the last scene of OiS? He just doesn't seem like the bad guy --he's just got his own agenda (and a sick, twisted personality). If you ran into him, say, at a bar on U-day, he'd be perfectly civil.
The only other villains who've struck me this way (villains I'd like to meet) are Demona (from Gargoyles), Sesshoumaru (from InuYasha), Shinzon (from Star Trek Nemesis), and Dukat (from DS9).

I'd like to throw in another really likeable villain (not from Firefly): Richard Wilkins III, former Mayor of Sunnydale. In addition to being completely evil, he was the consummate, "tell all the voters what they want to hear" politician. I think he may have actually been modeled after one of our former presidents.

All in all and my top choice:ADALEA NISKA - as a individual who controls a larger group. His evil is calculated and he works from the shadows. He sorta reminds me of a FireFly vesion of Scorpius from Farscape, sans the physical capibilities.
JUBAL EARLY: As the single individual. His creepifin' attitude and physical aptitude gives him the edge in the lone merc area. His weak point is his own mental weaknesses, as shown exploited by River.
BLUE SUN: (2x2) as the MASSIVE Big Bad. Huge manpower, military clout, corporate power and sheer singled mindness of purpose. But the weak point {which, ironacally, is also a strong point} - we don't know them hardly at all.
REAVERS: High potental to be my top choice! But so little info, mostly folklore. Why list them? I am sure the expriments with River and the 2x2s are an effort that will result in war aginst the Reavers - who are the only "Indpendents" left in this 'Verse. But, that is just my speculation based on my observations.
SAFFRON: She is ... more akin to an anti-hero. Likable, nice to look at, yet TOTALLY selfish. Much like Han Solo before he got "Skywalkered" 
"Remember, there is only ONE absolute - There ARE NO absolutes!!!"

Niska, definately Niska. Jubal didn't scare me at all, in fact is was slightly humorous to see him crack. But Niska...(shudders!)
