Switzland is the best. There are various options depends of the amount of money you put. To me there are the safer, I tried other offshore accounts but still the best solution.
I you can afford it I'd highly recommand numbered account.
Swiss bankers have been lied to and conned by the US IRS in the past and there is a plus in that they are now wary of any US agency approaching them for info. However, Switzerland is tired of everyone and his dog lining up to open accounts for the purposes of tax evasion within their own countries, they make life harder, unless this is for normal business trading.

BTW.. Why would anyone want a "numbered account" these days? :-) It is not exactly "normal" and contrary to common verbal, offshore banks do not usually have such things as "numbered accounts" - they operate "normal accounts" on the basis of "know your client" and retain a high degree of confidentiality.
