Let's put this all into perspective.
CA was a power house in EVE for 1 1/2 years, in a game that has yet to have it's 3rd birthday since release.
It wasn't the greatest of alliances with regards to organisation, but where it was lacking, it sure as hell made up for it in it's sense of community.
It was "EVE vs. CA" back then, and I know loads if pilots that are now in other alliances and corporations now, who still say it was the best time they ever had in EVE, and will still say that they were a "Proud member of CA".
There was a great sense of family and purpose, and that was to remain independant even if it cost us a fleet battle loss.
During the last 6 months of CA, it's growth in members and the introduction of offcial alliances with all the mistrust that came with it was it's downfall.
I am well aware of BoB's position today, and a little known fact that m0o was also a member of CA (for those of you quoting "m0ovelution").
CA's history is simple. CA was formed to kill Curse Coaliton (which it did), with all of it's members dropping their named lasers in a heart beat to fight anyone entering *thier* space. It grew. It grew too much. It's member corp ATUK joined forces with it's enemies. The alliance regrouped with Omega Corp and Duke Drokklar at it's helm. Others got ****ed off with all the politics and left or didn't bother to defend CA space (which enormous). In the end, CA died, RIP.
BoB may be "better organized" now, ISS may have better tools, G/IRON (2 for the price of one), FE/PA/NBSI (3 here). The times and the game mechanics have changed and with that, so have the tools provided by CCP to manage an alliance. So all in all, ATM, the most feared and reviered alliance in EVE has to be BoB, because no one wants to be on their list of enemies, let alone having them actively hunting you.
But, TBH ...
I have yet to see a single alliance in EVE that has stirred so many emotions in the game, be it from it's members as well as it's enemies, so I can honestly say, the best alliance that ever existed in EVE to date was "Curse Alliance".
The future my prove me wrong, it does that kind of thing to you, but up until today, there isn't a single alliance in EVE that has even slightly reached the greatness of CA.

How many nap's did CA in its time have? ZERO
Xetic, FE, CFS, PA..... Should i go on? CA had a lot of nap's in it's time. Also, it had the added advantage of having a reasonably well defendable part of space, where you couldn't be attacked from too many sides. During it's life, it had an NAP with either the north or south alliance it was bordering to at the time.
BoB nap's indeed, because it is convenient. They play to win, not to take risks. It is a part of why they are better, imho than the curse alliance if you look at raw performance. Politics are a part of the game - if you want quake style ffa's, i'd say, play quake.
You can find this if you go through all the old alliance maps (starting with Kalshrith's ofcourse).

CA forever. Respect to SA alliance. Much respect.
In the end, CA killed itself because of bureaucracy. The "High Council" turned into Republicans vs. Democrats, split the alliance down the middle, where each side worked to filibuster the other. Combined with the disband of Omega Corporation and the 'Where's the minerals, Foyle?" fiasco, the red-tape ridden insides of CA were primed to explode. The council's descision to intrude in corporation-level matters, the one which caused Vengeance of the Fallen to leave CA, was the spark that ignited the flame.
That's what happened. In the aftermath, almost every rival corporation/alliance rushed to claim responsibility for our demise. However, the truth is no other group earned the right to claim victory over the Curse Alliance, exept ourselves. Ironic.

C4 and CA were a blast. I was honored to be in the middle of it all. It has been almost 2 years since I left, and the whole shape of the game has changed. It's amazing to see that CA was respected as much as it was in it's day.

For me it would have to be the early days of FIX, when we still flew as the QDF with Black Avatar at our side.
We fought off CFS, CA, SA and BoB. Every time the forums spelled out our doom, our closely-knit combat squads would prove them wrong. It was an immense amount of fun carving out a little sector of space of our own, all during a time of great political upheaval in the South.
Over time the bloodshed dried up, and the diplomats proved how utterly effective they were. Many of those who helped make FIX what she is today reside within Battle Angels, where we can still hunt together as a team.

Forsaken Empire (not the current one - the original one)
FoE (when it was in control of tribute/vale/geminate, and roaming pretty much wherver we wanted, if we were more diplomatic, we would have the north by now under our 1 banner. 8))

Always enjoyed my time in PA...but that's a long ways back.
Enjoying -V- now, but argueably I'd have to say CA as well as the best "ever" overall. PA was certainly the one I enjoyed most...been in -V- too short a time to remove that title.

CA was by far the most superior alliance EVER, and i doubt
that there will ever be another alliance as powerful again.

I think G and BOB are the best alliances in eve
G is like a bug passive rock, alliances and corps crash against its sides and it will always be there. Its full of great pvpers and their teamwork is usually top notch.
BoB might not be the biggest or stongest, but they are certainly the most efficient, they set a goal and achieve it no matter what. If I were to join an alliance, bob would be my number 1 choice.
My favourite alliance of all time was and is the forsaken empire, we kicked ass back then, people always seem to remember the campaign in Fountain, I thought at the time it was bollox and I was proved right at the end. The best part of FE were all the low sec camps and crazy belt raiding we did, really putting the fear of god into all carebears. Also in our time we killed the NVA, has any other alliance admitted to being defeated by another? I dont think so. Even though it pained my heart to see all those indys go by when we finally booted them out venal, I still took sheer pleasure at how quiet Jade became on forums afterward
FE died as soon as it entered fountain, all the things I loved about us vanished as it turned into a big bad ass roid destroying machine intent on sucking all the goodness out of poor mr crokite and mrs arkanor.
As some one mentioned already ASCN have achieved alot in such a short time, but maybe they just dont work the forums as good as bob

CA really rocked, but it was the combination with SA that really made both alliances my favorite.
The main reason it was so good was because SA was at the height of it's power and had a rock solid PvP team, and it wouldn't surrender any ground to CA under any circumstances.
It was best, back before POSs. Back then, if a CA commander lead a 15 man group to U-Q or DSS, an SA commander would certainly gather a group of similar numbers to kick them out and vice versa. Nowadays, most people just take the attitude of going to hide at a POS/safespot or logging out until the PvP threat gets bored and leaves.
CA/SA 4TW!!!!

CA's influence never reached far outside Curse.
Remember what happened when they tried to invade Fountain?
BoB's strength has varied over the last 1.5 years, but remember this convo between the then powerful alliances?
Of those alliances allying up against BoB,
Fa is gone, CA is gone and PA is gone.

Maybe it's because they gave me my first taste of a kill. Maybe it's because they caused me to loose my ship for the first time, as well as getting podded when I carrying juicy implants. Maybe because they (seem to have) the perfect hegemony between PvP'rs and Industrialists.
My vote goes to BoB
(but FIX 4tw  )

Step 2. ...
Step 3. Get declared as Eve Emperor |

Fade Union
FU Ftw baby. An alliance of 7 PvPers and 450 carebears held back PA, the beginnings of G, and multiple (in the early days) BNC raids.
Take that
