Monero seems to be where the smart money is in anonymous coins. No premine, instamine, or other silliness. It's very user-unfriendly now, but that lack of user-friendliness is just more upside for those willing to invest now. I'm considering it myself, but can't find a way to make a cold wallet. May just trust bter.com or other exchange with the coins until I can figure out how to make a cold wallet without messing with the client.
Note, however, that any altcoin is subject to the spin-off technique, which is likely to start happening very soon so make your money in alt-ledgers while you can

Pretty much this. CryptoNote is clearly the future and the only legitimate way to do 100% anon transactions. Dark Wallet doesn't fully solve several issues, Darkcoin is subjected to node attacks, and the other CN coins haven't got the good combo of solid + solid launch without shaddy stuff. It's pretty much guaranteed it will reach Darkcoin prices this year. GUI wallet is already available.
I found that not only monero implements cryptonight. What is the difference between Monero and Bytecoin?
They have the same level of anonymity.
Boolberry is has better anonymity than both. This presentation explains why -> http://www.slideshare.net/boolberry/boolberry-solves-cryptonoteflaws-37055246
