Transaero has the best record both service and safety wise, they fly exclusively all
Western aircraft. Siberia ("Sibir") has probably the worst, though often through
no fault of their own, their planes get shot down or blown up by terrorists.
Other than Aeroflot and Transaero, results may vary, cuz you may get an old beat up
aircraft, but excellent service, and vice versa. Safety wise there hasn't been a
major Russian airline crash in years due to aircraft or crew fault, so no worries
there.
