The best depends on what you want.

For directional antenna the best would be a huge dish antenna, some 1Km radius.
Or better yet make that 10Km, the more the better.

Or 32-bay vertical dipoles for omni-directional.

A sensible question is:

What's the best antenna for given:
- radiation pattern
- power handling
- price
- size
- wind resistance
- frequency band etc etc
