I agree with you that Brian was the best.I mean, he was by far the best serial killer this show has to offer, even better than Dexter.He could've been the greatest adversary and the greatest threat to Dexter's life and friends.The reason I do not consider Brian as the greatest villain is because unlike the other villains, Brian never had any real intention of harming Dexter, only the people in his life.I agree, Brian was better than Dexter in my opinion, a true psychopath and if he would've wanted to harm Dexter, Dexter wouldn't even see it coming.And his portrayal from Nebraska as Dexter's consciousness wasn't accurate.That wasn't Brian, that was Dexter's impression of how his life with Brian would've been.Brian was more careful and meticulous than that.He wasn't the kind of impulsive killer who just wants to kill people he just met left and right on a whim.But as I was saying, the only ones in danger of being the victims of the Ice Truck Killer were Deb and anyone from Miami, minus Dexter.Brian never really had any intention of hurting him.He just wanted his little brother.However, Travis had the opportunity to kill Dexter(his attempt would kill almost any human), kill Harrison and everyone important in Dexter's life from the least important like Quinn, LaGuerta, Masuka and Batista to the most important persons for Dexter, his sister Deb and Harrison.This is why I consider him the best villain so far, even better than Isaak.Isaak started very promising, was going to be the most dangerous foe, but then they just decided to tone his character a little and in the end he died like an acquaintance of Dexter rather than one of his most lethal enemies.They ruined Travis in a similar fashion as well.They made him do the most unbelievable thing on the show, kidnapping Harrison and then instead of having the stones of going through it, thus highlighting what an danger Travis was, leaving us with a confused and emotionally train wreck Dexter for the next season instead of just a confused Dexter for being caught and solidifying Dexter forever as a brave, brilliant and unusual show, but an authenthic and original show nonetheless, who isn't afraid of killing anyone, capable of the most heartwrenching twists like the one with Rita and delivering of the most genuine drama possible.
