I know everyone may well have their own opinion on this - but what folder is most commonly referred to as having the sharpest lens?

Rich,
any of the Tessar equipped folders or clones will be really sharp if the camera is rigid and in good shape. My Iskra has a Tessar clone and it is wicked sharp around f8-f11.

Rich, i think the voigtlander bessa's w the super heliar are considered the top...
However i have to confess, my zeiss super ikonta has a humble 3-element lens but it amazed me with its performance.

My Franka IIIe also has a very sharp lens when closed down a little. The Schneider lenses can be quite good.

The Adox I posted above has a three element Schnieder Radionar lens and it surprised me as well (when focused properly) ...
