Currently IE 5.5 (beta) is the best as compared to NN 4.87 at the moment.

As for best 'all around' well that depends, IE 5 and 5.5 (beta) are certainly
faster now at rendering pages than NN is BUT IE 5.5 (beta) still has some
annoying quirks tho as the version states it is a beta and I much prefer it
over NN at the moment.

No due to AOL's marketing department they are jumping from NN v4.87 to
NN v6 there is no v5.

Yes definitely, if you can get it to look and work properly and the way you
want it then it in NN then it most certainly will look/work properly in IE, tho
once in awhile this isn't the case.
