A short question does not imply a short answer :)

"Best" depends on your "Clinton-esq" definition of whatever "best" means 
to you.

CPU - any reasonably modern, mainstream processor -- assuming you are not 
transcoding.

RAM - The Asterisk process will consume about 100mb.

Disk - Irrelevant to processing calls. You can build a CentOS based system 
on less than 4gb. Astlinux can do it on the head of a pin.

If you want more specific answers you need to spend some time developing 
more specific questions :)

Searching about on voip-info.org for "dimensioning" may help.

Thanks in advance,
