    Very broad and vague question. Define 'best'?

    What are the charges on the existing pensions.

    Are they all simple defined contribution pension or do some of them have any spouse (do you have a spouse?) or guaranteed benefits?

    What do you want to achieve: simplicity, certainty, minimise cost, maximise guaranteed return....some of those tend to be mutually exclusive!

    The best thing to do with them is add to them, or add to the one that has the lowest charges and best fund choice.
