re: YETI vs. RTIC vs. IGLOO coolers. Which one is truly the best?

If you're a fan of the RTIC's, you better get them while you can. From the horse's mouth.
ETA:
Like I said, better get the RTIC's while you can. They won't last long if you know what I mean.
ETA #2: I won a 75 (or is it 120 or so? I forget)Purple & Gold YETI from Stine's in Walker, Louisiana. They were $499 regularly. But the main times I utilize a cooler are:
1.) Tailgating
2.) Mardi Gras
3.) Beach Trip
In all of these situations, I have smaller, more mobile choices that are way more pragmatic. The YETI is for someone at an RV Tailgate or whose having a party or cookout in the backyard. It's just overkill for most of my use cases.
Having said that, they don't make the color runs anymore for YETI's (too expensive allegedly) for regular retail sale (can still special order for even more dinero). So the original $499 price tag on mine has been eclipsed by several people who've come to the house, seen it and offered me more for it.
As it stands, it's sat in my garage for the last 18 months unused and in pristine condition.

Has RTIC settled the lawsuit YETI put on them for copying their design yet?

I ordered three RTIC 45s and they arrived via Fed Ex this morning. Really nice craftmanship and detail on their coolers. Actually like the trim seals even better than the Yetis. The coolers themselves are different than a 45 Yeti in design (albeit not much but still distinct) so I don't think Yeti is going to be successful in their lawsuit. High quality.
