No landlocked state will ever the best /out/ state, nor even in the top five. Montana has the special misfortune of being the top-right corner of a block of superior /out/ states, such as Washington, Oregon, and its direct neighbor, Wyoming.
Simply having a coastline is no guarantee of greatness, as proved by New Jersey, which can boast being in the bottom 10% of /out/ states even though it has a coastline. However, not having a coastline does guarantee never being in the top 10%.
