'Best' ought to be followed by 'to what purpose?' or 'for whom?'.
It's best when you can explain to someone why you made the choices you did and why they might or might not also be the right choices for them. You'll have a lot more success that way and you won't come off as obnoxious like "he who must not be named."
Many years ago I was helping someone buy a bicycle and the bicycle shop owner was trying to sell her something really inappropriate. She was in her late 40's and wanted to be able to ride in surrounding Santa Cruz mountains and back then there were no 1x12 freewheels with 52T rear cogs so the default for road bikes was a 3x6 or 3x7. He was trying to sell her a dual, not a triple, and she would have been miserable riding up Old Alpine Road or Tunitas Creek Road (she would have been walking not riding).
