"Best" is a relative term, however, probably the most popular is Raspberry Pi OS (whodda thunk?), which is a Linux distro.

You'd think the latest and greatest might be the way to go, but there are tradeoffs between the Pi 5 and 4.  Also, don't limit youself to just the Pi SBCs, there's a whole slew of other brands out there, including SBCs that use the x86 platform, so you could install Windows, if you want.  There's also RISC-based SBCs, if you want the bleeding edge.

I don't know your SBC level of knowledge, but here's a couple of resources you might want to check out:

Hope you find these useful.
