which engines are better crawlers?

Update from the 301 updates...
It takes 6-8 weeks for Google to pick up these updates and for its index to fully reflect the changes.
MSN and Yahoo, without needing any 301 re-directs, are constantly picking up new updates and showing the results in the index in less than a week

How relevant are Google's results when it takes this long to refresh its index?
John Battelle's blog talk about this issue in terms of index size and relevance and the battle between Yahoo and Google.

For me, if Yahoo or MSN serve up the same quality of results (with more updated information), then for me they are more relevant.
