As an Indian i can say its Asoka de silve from sri lanka. I've seen mostly india's matches so i can judge from those matches only. Let me tel about his worst decisions or you can say worst umpiring decisions of all. There eas a time when Rahul Dravid scored 3 hundreds in a row. But the next match the umpire was this guy and he gave Dravid out on 2 consecutive occassions when he was not out. The commentators could only say " Poor Dravid ". Statistics show he's given horrendous decisions in recent times and thats why he's been excluded from ICC's elite panel of umpires.

I think Darell Hair is the worst umpire. Even though his performance as umpire may not be the worst, he is just not fit enough to be an umpire in a 'gentleman's game. He is more of a publicity seeking person and has made a lot of rash decisions in the past. Remember when he gave Kallis lbw to Walsh for his 500th wicket? That was one of the worst decisions ever I think.
