Freedreno
From what I can tell, the best would still be Qualcomm/Freedreno.
Rob CLarke might be doing this as a side project but he has gotten quite far. There is bootable fedora with 3d (including a few hacks that have not been upstreamed yet) for A2xx devices (eg HP Touchpad) and there is also a bootable Fedora with (probably also with hacks that have not been upstreamed..) for A3xx (Nexus 4) devices.
None of these use the Android stack, but standard Fedora Linux.
I would expect this to be mainlined very soon and as Qualcomm is a major player in the embedded market, by Fedora 20 I wouldn't be surprised if say 40% of the Arm market was not supported to atleast some extent.
(Major players are Qualcomm/Adreno, Arm/Mali which is also being reversed engineered from what I have read quite successfully, nVidia/Tegra, which will probably remain troublesome and PowerVR which is a nightmare.)
Question for a developer? since iirc, Adreno is a fork from (mobile) Radeon, can some of the newer AMD support be leveraged or has it diverged too significantly/independently for that to be of any use?
