Which stroke easiest to learn, which easiest to swim WELL?

Do you agree that the stroke that was the easiest (or first) for you to learn may well not be the stroke that you eventually swim the best?
So which stroke was the easiest for you learn?
Which do you find easiest to swim to near perfection?
I learned breaststroke the first but have never worked on improving it--unlike the other strokes, it doesn't seem to be so complicated. Freestyle seems to have infinite room for improvement?
Don't pigeon hole yourself. I've been back 3 years and am a breaststroker before any other stroke, but I do Free events and Fly too...though they're not as good.
Nawww, I'm just pigeon hole-ing myself for this year and hope to add fly into the mix next year. I say "hope", because I'm being cautious with my shoulders after a nasty case of bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome and major surgery on my left shoulder (work injury before I got back into swimming). If my shoulders hold up, I would also like to swim IM. For now, though, my 100IM in practice is slower than my 100 breaststroke! :afraid:
