We have a Honda self propelled mower that mulches very well. It has a double blade setup, so the grass is actually cut twice as the blade passes through it. Additionally, the mower will bag cut grass.
When mulching grass, the grass can't be too wet or too tall. You also have to be sure that the blades are good and sharp. This makes the cuts finer and the grass looks better if the cuts are clean on the grass blades. If the grass is very tall or wet, bagging is good because the blades can become overwhelmed buy these factors, and then your cutting job looks bad.
It's important to keep the underside of the mower deck cleaned up, too. Build up affects how the blade works and in turn how well your mulching feature works.
Mulching grass is smart. You are returning organic matter to the soil, conserving water and saving landfill space from grass clippings. Further, you're saving yourself work.. bagging grass and then carrying those heavy bags is a pain!

What's the best mower for cutting wet grass?

Yes, yes, I know! The best option of all is to wait until it dries. We can't. We would be waiting nine months. ;) Basically, the rainy season has begun in the Pacific Northwest, and there is no way to count on it stopping for any length of time until next July. It will be raining literally every single day. Given that, has anybody found that some mowers do better than others in wet grass?

I agree with the reel mowers, which are still quite available, as in this line here:

I use a high-vacume, bagging, rotary (standard) mower with at least 5hp to lift the heavy grass. I like the Honda's and have 9 seasons on the last 2 I purchased. This tip is from their website:
"Move slowly across the lawn. To reduce the volume of clippings that might cause the mower to bog down, it may be necessary to raise the cutting height. It also may be necessary to turn the mower over and scrape off the packed-on clippings that accumulate under the mower deck housing."
