Since Im looking for a decompiler, that begs this question - what is the best code obfuscator? Any ideas? I realize that this might screw up the decompilation, but production code should be decompiled? Any experiences here?

Add AnswerCheck out ProGuard - it is GPL'd and it does some minimum code optimization, but it does rename methods and classes to aid obfuscation and reduce readability. Optimization will shrink the class file size, which is good. Have heard good things about yGuard too but have not used it. - http://www.yworks.com/en/products_yguard_about.htm
I might be missing the point here, but isn't this website about *open* source and collaboration? It sounds like this kind of tool pulls in the opposite direction.

We use RetroGuard without any issues. Allows you to fine grain level of obfuscation to class members.
May have turned commercial in past two years however
