Interference varies with time and location, and no band works perfectly in all conditions.
Different bands are better for different kinds of interference. Lower frequency bands
tend to perform better in passive interference. Middle bands can perform better in
deeper bores and may have longer Target Steering capability. Higher frequency bands
have slightly less signal strength but tend to offer better performance around active
interference such as power lines.
