For an English dictionary, the Oxford English Dictionary, is the best -- it is continually updated with words found throughout the English-speaking countries.

Any dictionary is fine as long as it is unabridged. I know unabridged dictionaries are huge but it's worth it if you want to do any serious word sleuthing. I got a Random House unabridged dictionary years ago for $30 and I love it.
Bonus if your dictionary has color maps, an acronym dictionary, a proper name dictionary and concise language dictionaries (English - Spanish, Spanish - English, English - Italian, etc.) in the back. I've used them all.

It depends what you are trying to find out. There are different foci for dictionaries, such as slang, etymology, specialist topics (such as medicine), bilingual, dialect (American English, British English, New Zealand English... Doric...) and common usage. They come in abridged and unabridged formats depending on the depth of information you require.

Try 'Encarta Dictionary' from Microsoft. It's embedded with 'Microsoft Encarta'.
