ALL BIAS ASIDE, i think orton and batista are better foils to cena than edge. Both of them had multiple ppvs that had hot buildups...the whole jealousy/career divide angle they run whenever they clashed was great.
Who is CM Punk's best rival to date?

The Jeff Hardy feud solidified him in the main event. The Cena feud made him a star. So, I'll go with Cena.
If you don't answer Cena you're a fool.
Cena was integral in making him the star he is.

Jeff Hardy...they feuded for like 3 months and it was MUST SEE TV EACH TIME 
As far as who he put on the best matches with, I'm going with Samoa Joe

That's true, but I do think Edge do what it takes scumbaggery meshes well with Cena never get it up approach. I like that rivalry more because it was the classic cheating heel vs the figthing face. I did like orton sadistic approach to rivalry, tho.

The only problem with the Edge feud was that Edge was an over-rated piece of shyt who was never entertaining.

From what I've seen of those feuds -- Cena.
Would like to see some of his stuff with Raven though.

I'd put Hardy and maybe even Raven before Cena, due to the fact that they were such great foils for Punk. Along with that, beyond the matches, the FEUDS that Punk had with both were better than the feuds that Punk had with Cena. Yes, you could say that the storyline leading to MITB 2011 was better than any one thing Punk did with Hardy and Raven, but the case for Cena is hurt by the headache inducing feud that they had last fall (you know, the one where Punk apparently had to prove himself by beating Cena despite Punk having won every feud they've ever been in and beating him like a drum since 2011), whereas Hardy and Raven never had that stupidity infect their feuds.
History will say that Cena was Punk's greatest rival (not that it's a bad selection at all), but the feuds that shaped him into the wrestler and character that he is today probably came from facing Hardy and Raven long before MITB 2011.
