Best is relative to how much you are wanting to spend per phone and what features you are after..

At the end of the day you can get a Grandstream Budgetone for $75, a Snom200 for $250 or a Cisco for $700.. They all work perfectly with Asterisk as phones to make phone calls and to hear the person on the other end.. All have good voice quality.. (Remember voice quality is ver much dependent on which codec you choose to use.)

If however you want downloadable ringtones and XML interfaces to the phones diaplay then you will have no choice but to fork over the cash for the Cisco..

Not sure is that helps you at all..
