Economics prioritises absolute welfare over relative welfare. That is to say that even though you might FEEL better when you are in a country where everyone is poorer than you, you are better off being able to afford more things on an absolute basis in a country where everyone is richer than you.
Consequently the answer is boring and also simple. Just pick the one with highest median income adjusted for PPP. It’s probably something like Belgium or Austria or the USA.
