I have been happy with my two sets of outdoor B&W's - for details see my virtual systems. I would never claim that these are the "best" but they do the job and they do it well.
Pretty tough to beat the classic Bose 151s. This is the older model which is a rectangle not the newer designs which I am sure are great but I have no experience with.
I had a set of the 151s on the stern of my sailboat for over 5 years and they worked as well the day I sold the boat as the day I installed them. They play clean, work fine off a 12v car amp and are not at all fatiguing.
I have the Polk Atrium 60.. I was suprised how good they sounded. Mounting is key though. Try to mount them at ear level when standing, and in a corner to help bass reinforcment.
