Proxy vs VPN vs TOR vs DVPN. Which one is better? Technical discussion

Time to end it once and for all. Which is better: TOR, Proxy (or your own VPN), VPN, DVPN. The advantages and disadvantages, pros and cons. Everything about them. Let's keep it civilized and provide strong and valid points and in the end sum it up to come up with a useful conclusion that we all agree on on the strengths and weaknesses of each one of them.

IMO:

TOR
+ Free
+ Secure
+ Anonymous
+ Been around for years
+ No georestriction, restrictions by your ISP, etc...
