Yeah,Judit's by far the best female chess player.She was/is 10th in the men's ranking,if I recall correct.
Susan plays for the US because she lives there now.She had to choose between Hungary and US.You can read about the how and why of her choice on www.chessbase.com.

There's an article on playchess.com, an interview with Susan Polgar about her feelings about playing against the Hungarian team at Calvio. Even though she's a naturalized U.S. citizen, she still has feelings for Hungary. There's actually 3 polgar sisters: Susan, Sophia, and Judit. Laszlo Polgar is the father, as well as a grandmaster and author of chess books.

Actually, the Polgar's are made up of many sisters who play chess well. They are the beacon in women's chess by far, and Judit is an awesome player, breaking stereotypes, and is one of the best aggressive players you will find.
