I say Roman Empire. They had one of the biggest technology booms ever, revolutionizing warfare and architecture (among other things). They did become too spread out, and eventually the "barbarian hordes" from several different places destroyed them. However, the Byzantine Empire (eastern half of the original Roman Empire), still lived until the 4th crusade when Constantinople was sacked. Considering it's longevity, revolutionary technologies, and first army that could defeat any foe 1v1 (maybe even 1v2), I rank the Roman Empire the best.
The British Empire.
The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas possessions and trading posts established by England between the late 16th and early 18th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time,and covered more than 13,000,000 sq mi (33,670,000 km), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area.

The British Empire demonstrated his great military power at various times, for example during the war of Spanish independence, where the Duke of Wellington won the French troops in the Iberian Peninsula, and defeated Napoleon at Waterloo.
In the colonization of America, the British Empire demonstrated its great military power.
In the first world war has mobilized its large Marina and its army which ended up defeating the German Empire in 1917-1918.

economical aspects
All areas of the world that were ever part of the British Empire. Current British Overseas Territories have their names underlined in red.
Britain did expand far, but that was in the 16, 17, and 1800s. Rome's height was in late B.C.E., early C.E. You can't compare them side by side. You need to ratio it. I still stand with Roman considering they had most of the known world under their command, from North Africa to Scotland. France to Turkey. That was pretty much all we knew at the time.
According to the poll, the most active empires were the Roman Empire and the British Empire!
