What was the best Saints team ever?

Until another team wins a title, 2009 is the answer. How could it not be? Look at the Warriors, who broke the single-season record with 73 wins but lost the title in Game 7. They can't be in the convo of best team ever UNLESS you throw in the caveat or qualifier of "regular season".

It don't mean a thing if you don't with the ring. That's the common refrain of a lot of pundits and it's hard to argue with it. You can say which team had the best offense, defense, or special team but if you don't win the title, you can't be considered a better team than one which did. that's my 2¢.
