Yes i get the question daily as a chessprogrammer.

You mean which program SCORES the best. For programmers
you ask here: "which engine is best", that's a different question
than "which program scores best".

There is little doubt for which program is strongest under 10 minutes
a game. That's Ferret. No don't look for it, it is a private program.

A big problem for your question when referring to the commercial
engines that are available is that all world championships
computerchess, they are played at about 2 minutes a move.

There is only 1 world championship blitz which is 7 minutes all
(including operator time).

I missed the world title at 15 seconds this year with DIEP (no this
version isn't on the market yet). The winner of the world title blitz
is called Goliath Blitz (i forfeited against this guy 15 seconds
before his flag fell, which is 3 moves in computerchess when including
operator time).

That answers your question?
