There is no such thing as "the best" since everyone's situation and
environment is different, as are people's impressions and opinions. What a
person uses is usually going to be what they consider the "best", or they
wouldn't be using it. It's a silly question, actually, since there are so
many variables and different areas to call the "best". Best what?
