AVG is noob bloated software, personally I feel avast and avira are the best. According to tests avast is easier to use but avira is lighter on memory and has a higher detection rate, but there are ads (that can be disabled if you know how)
Plus the fact that usually there so many avira promotions that you can pretty much live off their full version security suite.
Kaspersky would probably be best for paid antivirus but it's pretty expensive. Don't even think about Norton or Mcafee

As I've said before, AVG has a really high false positive but low detection rate; both avira and avast easily outperform it

But you know what the detection rate doesn't really matter that much as the average computer user won't be exposed to that many viruses anyway (hopefully). The real factor is ease of use/performance

If you look at tests it's very clear that AVG takes up a LOT of memory compared to the other antivirus softwares; this, in my opinion, combined with the relatively low detection rate and ads (yes the free version has ads incorporated into the program) means it's not worth it.

On the other hand avira and avast are both very light and efficient in terms of system resources. Yes, avira does have pop up ads (which luckily can be disabled) but if you don't want to go through with the hassle of that you can just use avast instead.

you can take a look at some tests here:
http://www.av-comparatives.org/home

they are a bit old but I guess they are somewhat still valid (avira has been updated to version 10 lately though)
