So. Heres a good discussion to start.

IS the xenomorph the perfect organism or is there another alien that takes the crown

ex- The thing, the alien from life, splice , etc

The standard Xenomorph? Not really, although its life-cycle & design are perfection. It has acidic blood. Its phallic. It can take the traits & memories of any living creature & improve them. Weyland probably wouldnt want the Xenomorphs to make more Xenomorphs.... but to utilize its DNA-altering abilities & possibly even have false immortality through being reborn as Xenomorphs, who have been known to take the consciousness of hosts.

Thats why Ridley Scott & H.R. Giger sort of expanded on the design beyond just your typical drone or queen or whatever. The bio-mechanical aspect is perfection. The bio-weapon aspect is perfect (Prometheus). Covenant was more of a return to where we realllly left off. Resurrection.
