What're the best English-Italian/Italian-English dictionary ever? Oxford?

I'm looking for the best English-Italian/Italian-English, English-French/French-English and English-Japanese/Japanese-English dictionaries, book and/or electronic, in the world, one of them I want to use before my High School trip to Rome in the future. Are they the Oxford dictionaries that has the best? Something else?

Personally I think the best (along with Oxford-Paravia) is Ragazzini, originally published by Zanichelli (in the UK is published by Oxford University Press, in US by variousalong the years); Ragazzini-Biagi is the concise version, which is still better than 90% of the "bigger" version of the competitors...)

the Garzanti Linguistica is good, that's the only it/eng eng/it dico that I know, so a can't tell if it's the best.

the best and most complete j/e dictionary is Jim Breen's Edict, that is a free download, not a paper dico.
