The answer depends on what you need the Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) for. For ease of use, and great feature, I would recommend a Palm-based PDA.
Since you mentioned the word "best" I would deduce that you are looking for a PDA that is feature-packed. In that case, I would recommend the Palm LifeDrive which includes 4 GB hard drive, built-in WiFi for Internet connectivity at hotspots, Bluetooth, built-in microphone, and a gorgeous large and vivid screen. It is the most powerful PDA in the Palm line of handhelds.
I use it to browse the Web (though the screen and speed of any handheld are not ideal for long Web surfing), getting and responding to e-mail, watching DVDs on the Palm (that's one of the BEST features -- with special software you would have to buy), and of course contacts, calendar, To-Do lists, IMing, and games.
If you do decide to buy it, I would highly recommend purchasing a wireless keyboard if you plan to be using it for writing letters, a lot of e-mails, notes, or other data entry intensive needs.
Although there is no handheld that is truly a laptop replacement, or even near laptop replacement, the LifeDrive is darn close. It is slower than a latptop, and has a delay due to its internal hard drive, but it is a sleek, powerful, and easy to use Palm.
It retails for $399, but you can buy it on eBay at around $320 for new and as low as $250 for used. If you decide to buy used, make sure that unit and screen is scratch free, the battery is recharging, and it includes all the accessories.
Overall Score: 8 out of 10. Enjoy!

PDA's come in multiple flavors. If you like Windows Operating System, then a PDA with Windows Mobile is the best, HP and Dell make very good ones.
If you like PDA with Palm operating system, checkout sony.
Or, you could choose a combo PDA and Phone, I like UT Starcom's PDA model 6700 which both Sprint and Verizon offer.

HX2795 For Windows Mobile 5.0 without Phone
HX2755 For Pocket PC 2003SE without Phone (Same as the HX2795 but without WM5 installed)
HW6515 Pocket PC 2003Se with Phone
HW6917 Windows Mobile 5.0 with Phone
Those are the top performers based on the OS you want...
