Reviews and personal testing are your friends. Probably the H100i is "best."

You don't need "the best". You only need a good one. And it must be mounted properly. And it must have enough clearance above any surrounding motherboard components. And it must fit nicely in your case with enough space around it to allow for good air flow through the case. That's all you need.
