Best? I don't know if there is such a thing. However, I use the Comet CA-2x4SR and really like it. It's broadbanded and performs well:

 

BROADBAND VHF/UHF Dual Band Antenna

CA-2x4SR: Designed to assist Search & Rescue Volunteers and Professionals

1.5:1 or less SWR: 140-160/435-465MHz

Gain: 3.8/6.2dBi

Max Power: 150 watts

Length: 40 inches

Connector: PL-259

Fold-over hinge included

The CA-2x4SR is a broad-band antenna designed for those needing voice communications on the ham radio, land mobile, and FRS frequency ranges.

When the amateur radio community is working together with local search and rescue and other public service agencies, the CA-2x4SR antenna allows TX and RX capability in both bands!

The coverage area and gain provided by the CA-2x4SR is remarkable. Whether used on VHF or UHF or both, it is an asset to the communications needs of amateurs and land mobile users simultaneously.
