What is the best and easiest to install binary distribution?

I was looking into this for v9 and gave up on finding a binary which was:

- easily found

- agreed upon as the one to use

- available for and easy to install on all three platforms

Should I look again?

For full tcl with the kitchen sink, bathtub & shower included, for android (hence the name) & regular Linux:
