I was a big fan of Hollinger's PER when it was introduced, but even he admitted that it captured offence much better than defence.
BRef's Win Shares seems more a group than individual stat. A poor defender playing with good defenders will get positive Defensive Win Shares for instance.
The two I've been checking recently are Real Plus Minus at ESPN and Box Plus Minus at BRef. They do seem to try to separate a players individual achievement from the teams and grade both offensive and defensive value. However even they wildly disagree on certain players.
What other stats/sites do you recommend?
