I was not aware that the FBI redeemed their reputation.
I would not list them.
There were real operators in RVN. i know because I was there.

Lt. Calley's "SWAT" team did a heck of a job kicking *** and taking names in RVN.

It's easy to be good when you don't have to sweat collateral damage. The war's over, ya know.

"Best" SWAT team, I can think of about 4oo teams you left out. My vote is for every team that have saved a life, or solved a problem without use of deadly force. As a former Ranger let me assure you ANYBODY can blast in and kill verything in a room. It takes a special group of men/women that only shoot with no other option under that much preasure.
