There are so many implant company's that say their surface is the best, SLA, Nanotite, tiunite, etc. Anyone have any data on what is the best?

SLA Active: great surface

There is tons of research to support this surface.
When I place these you can see the wetability which will help stabilize the clot leading to faster healing.

Implant Surface technology: Straumann or Neo-Oss

My vote would would be straumann SLA or Neo-oss proactive. Both very predictable.

Implant surface technology: the jury is still out

Interesting question. I think the jury is still out on this, most of the long term studies where we see high success with implants were on machined smooth surface implants.

There are not a ton of long term studies on some of the newer surfaces, so buyer beware. Remember HA had alot a problems long term, so we could see some problem long term with new surfaces coming out every year.

Right now I am pretty comfortable with Straumann SLA surface, fuggazzatto has some nice studies with large "N" and semi long term.

3i ossitite has a decent tract record as well.

Implant surface technology= SLA Active bar none

I been placing SLA Active implants in my office, quick healing, I am loading as early as 2 months.
