This kind of topic reflects the deep wish of humans to have a winner in a game. Unfortunatly EVE does not really support the feature to have winners.
But there are only 3 things that count: kills, kills and kills! I have to admit that Lo3d3r has a crazy ammount of kills. He must be a fanatic and stubborn farmer if he tops my kills - lol.

Why would people want a winner?
Don¦t ask me - nearly all games and even the olympic games have winners. You must analyse the nature of games itself to find out why humans want winners in all kind of games. I guess it¦s because it helped mankind to improve and allways keep working on improvement. Games = training. And training is good to be a better human being.

Don¦t get me wrong - i liked the noble Jokers too...but it¦s evolution (not the corp EVOL) that decides who is successfull and who not. Jokers as example for the most noble pirate corp is quite fair, i guess. But in the end, what did they achieve? They quitted EVE because they didn¦t want to adapt.
It¦s fine to see pirates that stil ransom and we also try to do this. But in the end our ISK machine is ganking - pure brutal ganking and grabbing as much loot as we can get. This made us survive - while other pirate corps had to join alliances or had to quit EVE. So yes - only kills count. Nobody ask¦s how or when or why - a kill is fresh loot and fresh loot are ISKies to pay the bills.
Definitly yes - only kills count. The rest is only an "aura" pirate corps have.

We are teamplayers and i don¦t care much being not killer no. 1. I know what TDG is: the last original pirate corp in EVE. That¦s enough for me to feel like a winner

Kills certainly are not a top deciding factor
Then what is it?

Logically the 'best' pirate would be one who had the highest financial gain to financial loss ratio from pirating.
What i said: lot of kills --> lot of loot.
Sure - there is a difference in what kind of prey you killed and not the pure number of kills count. But in the end a pirate with 4000 kills is a winner, while a pirate with 150 kills is a n00b or a looser.
BTW: i am pretty sure that people like Tank have enough kills to be on the winner side

but I've never seen or heard of them doing anything other than sniping
We did 0.0 piracy for 2 years. I personally have left the PVP state and now am a PVD player (player vs DEVS).

Lets end this discussion - it cannot be found out who is the biggest pirate. Some players have a RL and play less, others more and that¦s why they have more kills. Some play 3 years, some less longer, some do 0.0 piracy, some low sec piracy, some do ransom, others not. No way to find out who is TEH WINNER! EVE isn¯t meant to have winners because it¦s a MMOG and DEVs allways balance the game in a way to nerf winners and to help loosers. CCP want¦s to make $$$.
What i know is that the pirate corps that are still active are all very good corps that where able to adapt and survive till now. I¦ve hunted with 4Life (Zombie leader), with Tank (Jumpin-camping, when i was in Biomass), Hupa (in the Fade assault), Xpohoc (my CEO), Tenacha (my UK english teacher), Axel (my favorite gunship pilot), Frankinator (he hates me), Zarquon B (hates me too), much others and all the guys that are still in TDG. Also know those of battles: I shot down Joker and m0o pilots and so did they when they could do with us. Fighted Biomass, Mafia and ASS. Never fighted SNIGGS (because i dont mine in belts and am no target for belt rats) - i know them all and i can state: all these players are good at what they do.
Pray carebears that these people will never fit to each other, because if they would, they would set EVE into flames! A corp with this members would destroy anything and beat the $hit out of all the so called PVPers in alliances. They have the instinkt and the unstopable will to kill other players - pray that they stay in their small corps or inactive or alliance leaders or whatever they do now and pray they never merge into one team...

I guess we have a winner then: SATAN (Burn Eden) is the biggest pirate 
I guess the real biggest pirates in this game are CCP GMs for fooling carebears aswell as pirate players to still pay for this game. That¦s an awesome thiefing job.

Can¦t this topic simply die? I guess all pirates that are still in business are good at what they do.

Shin ra, dont take what kessah says seriously, he told Lifewire to "chill out"...like who the **** would do that and expect to stay long?
Sorry, but Kessah is the only ex-TDG that was able to loose a battleship to a corpmate (Axel shot the kids Scorpion down because he kept jamming him "for fun"). So don¦t blame it on me - i have no use for unproffesional people.
