I personally see "best" as being a very subjective term, it really comes down to what you're wanting to do and what sample size you want. Once you have a handle on both of those, then you can pick a camera from that narrowed down list.

Want to do large sky areas, you'll be happy with an image scale of 1.5-2.5. If however you want to resolve individual stars in cores of globular clusters, you'll want to be closer to 0.5 arcsec/pixel. Personally, I think image scale should always be the first place to start, you start with what you want your camera to do with your telescope.

As for one camera that I would go for, it would be the FLI-16803.
