Base-8 is where its at man. Easy conversion to binary makes base-8 superior to base-10 and base-12.

Change my mind.

One-third in base-8 is 0.2525..., which while I'll admit is less nice than 0.4 in base-12, is still not too disgusting.

However 2^12 in base-8 is 10000 in base-8, which shows how the conversion to and from binary is very easy. In base-12 it is 3414 which is very disgusting.

Base-8 superiority gang.
