This trope was thought-up quickly, written quickly, and launched quickly (mostly because I was surprised to find that the trope didn\'t already have a page, and decided to waste no time creating one.) Feel free to re-write the description into something a bit longer and perhaps a bit more clever.

HF is the best ending \'\'overall\'\' for the main characters (and, yes, I \'\'am\'\' including Rider in that).

HF is the best ending \\\'\\\'overall\\\'\\\' for the main characters (and, yes, I \\\'\\\'am\\\'\\\' including Rider in that).

Whilst you\\\'re right that Shinji still being alive is a plus for her, depsite everything he\\\'s done to her, it\\\'s nothing like as big a plus as ending up free from Zouken and with Shirou, and she needs someone who can \\\'\\\'help\\\'\\\' her get over her past. Living with Shinji, even if he\\\'s reformed, will prevent her from moving on, because she will always be reminded of all the things he\\\'s done in the past. As for Saber, it\\\'s true that HF is a bad ending for her (worse than any of the others), but \\\'\\\'someone\\\'\\\' had to do badly, and the argument that \\\"she\\\'s the main heroine, so her fate is more important\\\" is complete crap. Firstly, she\\\'s \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' (all three routes are equal) and secondly it doesn\\\'t matter.
Overall, HF True is the best ending for Sakura and Rider by a \\\'\\\'long\\\'\\\' way, it\\\'s the second best ending for Ilya (although Fate is \\\'\\\'way\\\'\\\' ahead of it), it\\\'s the third best ending for Rin (but, it\\\'s a close third) and it\\\'s the equal worst (with HF Normal) ending for Saber. UBW Good is the best ending for Rin and Saber and the equal worst (with UBW True) ending for Ilya, Sakura and Rider (Ilya because she dies painfully and without getting to know Shioru, Sakura because Shirou has run off with Rin to London (leaving her alone with no-one to help her, even if she \\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' free of Zouken\\\'s control) and Rider because she dies uselessly and Sakura is still suffering).
So, overall, HF True is quite clearly the \\\'\\\'objectively\\\'\\\' best ending for the characters. Even if you exclude Ilya and Rider, that would still hold true, probably, because of \\\'\\\'how\\\'\\\' bad the UBW ending is for Sakura.
