I asked this question last year. The results were a mixed bag.
1. Moon Knight and
2. Daredevil got a number of mentions, as well as
3. Spider-man
The rest were telepaths and scientists. Some said Black Panther was retroactively the best, which i personally found laughable.
I forget who, but someone summed it up as, whoever the best is in the MU, there is a huge gap between that person and Batman.

Since the marvel world has a greater focus on technology, there is less pure true detective style work.
-Punisher is in because he uses his police/military background to track down targets, with techniques similar to that line of work.
-Daredevil is lawyer by day, and as a result he has extensive cross-training with the NYPD and employs what he knows to his own work with his own gifts.
-Moon Knight is more of a trained merc, but has picked you some detective techniques.
-A small part of what Reed Richards involves detective work, combined with science.
-Jamie Madrox is also clearly a detective, and probably would be the "best detective" at Marvel purely for being one of the few, and the only one to keep his schtick.
Feel free to add names to the list.. Maybe we can boil it down to one..
