What insect has the best flight capabilities?

("flight capabilities"->
cornering, quick acceleration, hovering, coordination in air)

I'm currently considering dragon-/damselflies or hoverflies (probably bee flys as well), but can't decide between them.

Any suggestions?

No idea which one is the best flier, but one vote for dragonflies because of general awesomeness.

Dragonflies (Odonata) have direct flight muscles, allowing them to move all 4 wings independently. All other living insects can only move their wings in pairs.

Sphingidae (hawk moths) are supposed to be the fastest wing flutter rate
