At least that's an easy question:  none of them.

While there are differences between AV's, there are only a handful of free
ones, none of which make the distinction between what is reading a file
when a file is read.  (Nor would it be particularly wise to do so.)

That said, we use a combination of AV products here, which includes AVG
Free, and haven't noticed any performance problems caused by the AVs
themselves.  (Your mileage may vary.)
