I guess you could say 1150 is the best because it is the latest generation Intel processors?

You'd get LGA2011 if you had the money for a hardcore editing and rendering system that needed the PCI lanes for multiple cards, RAID cards or both.

I don't think its worth getting LGA1156 at all.

LGA1155 if you really wanted SB or IB processors for the overclocking potential.

LGA1150 is the newest, offers better power consumption, hauls ass in gaming and would be the best imo.

1150 = Haswell (Pentiums, i3's, i5's and i7's)
1155 = Ivy and Sandy Bridge (i3's, i5's and i7's)
1156 = Lynnfield & Clarkdale (All Intel CPU's)
2011 = Server based Xeon's and i7 Extreme Editions. (Xeon's and i7's.)

so in simpler terms...

1150 = Newer architecture for gaming and tasks
1155 = Last generation architecture but still great for gaming
1156 = Not really around anymore so stay away.
2011 = Enthusiast platform, brilliant for gaming but not worth the price tag unless you do a lot of other harder things to do. (3D rendering, editing & Photo editing)

1150 is the right place to be for gaming at the minute...

1150 - LATEST AND GREATEST INTEL TEKNOLIGEE! Standard for consumer market.
1155 - Only get an 1155 for Sandy Bridge CPUs and their OC ability
1156 - Useless unless you have a server of some sort
2011 - Useful for high end servers and workstations, you're looking at $1500+
