Terraforming Mars: Best Corporation in base game?

Which is the best of the twelve original corporations? It seems like I always perform the best with Tharsis Republic, to me that’s the intuitive answer; however, a few friends I often play strategy games with swear that Helion is far and away the best, that the game is so much easier when they play as Helion. Then again, I recorded the results of sixty-some-odd five player games I played on the app on a spreadsheet on my laptop, and on average Ecoline performed the best. Tharsis Republic was somewhere between second and fifth and Helion was like ninth or maybe tenth. Anyone else have opinions on which of the original twelve corporations is the best?
