Well technically, gaming has a more broader (and probably more popular) audience than both comics and now the newly formed anime website. So in a sense Giant Bomb is probably the most popular thing Whiskey Media has going for it. "Best" can definitely be up for grabs, depending on your alignment (with gaming, comics, anime, politics).
It's certainly the most popular Whiskey site, I think. PoliticalBase is a solid but not as popular site. ComicVine has found its own niche, that's alright. AnimeVice had its fucking legs cut off at launch; they made some weird people mods and now they run around handing IP bans out like candy bars on Halloween, to people who broke no rules. The entire site was taken over by roleplaying-lovers who should not have bothered leaving ComicVine, and what could have been a great GB-like place for anime is now taken over with rampant groups of people playing pretend.

AnimeVice just started so it's too early to tell there.
PoliticalBase seems to be pretty dead, but that could be because of the end of the election season. Comic Vine seems to have a strong following similar to Giant Bomb.
So I say for now, Giant Bomb and Comic Vine are Whiskey Media's bigger successes for now.
It most definitely is, of all the sites it's my favorite. That place could be taken by AnimeVice if it wasn't for all the roleplaying, which i'm still trying to get used to. ComicVine is just weird and i haven't been in PB.
I think the reason Giant Bomb is more popular than the other Whiskey sites is not the demographic, but because Giant Bomb has Jeff Gerstmann's name behind it, giving it the large community it has compared to Comic Vine and Anime Vice.
Giantbomb has widespread appeal and also had plenty of advertising and time for excitement to build up over it. The sheer amount of people who tranferred over here from GS alone makes it the most popular site Whiskey has.
Comic vine is the most complete wiki for the moment so i consider that site the best one. My guess is that anime vice will be complete before Giant Bomb since for every new anime/manga there are 10 new games.

ComicVine's wiki has some of the shittiest writing ever. It balances out.

Giant Bomb's content has arguably he largest appeal. I think video games are more popular than anime and comic books. And theres a million news sites out there for political coverage.
Giant Bomb has one of the largest names in the industry running it, Jeff.
Giant Bomb was born out of one of the largest controversies in the industry last year, so loads of people know about it just because of that.
" in terms of technical shit. they all seem about the same"
Actually animevice is somewhat ahead feature wise since the dev team seems to be working on that one and than bringing over what they have done there the the other sites, an example would be that now where you see in your profile your point ranking amongst all the members the number of members is a hyper link to the top users list. Small stuff like that but the gap is only a few days.
