There really is no "best"... Really, most will do exactly the same job if you take the time to learn to use them properly. For the most part I sharpen almost every edge tool, knives included, freehand on ceramic water stones and diamond plates and my edges are shaving sharp. If I chip and edge and have to reform a bevel completely, then I go to the belt grinder but once established I go back to freehand...
A lot will come down to how much money you are comfortable spending. Some systems work great but cost thousands. Some are mediocre and cheap but they still provide a very usable edge. Just depends.

Speedy sharp from Cantire for out in the field. Best $15 I ever spent.

If you understand sharpening it's a good system. If you don't, you can ruin a blade pretty quickly.

I have a series of DMT bench stones. You can sharpen everything from a spade to a straight razor. I have a jig to set the angle for chisels and plane irons and I freehand my knives.
You can tell when I have been sharpening my knives because I develop this strange condition where I lose all the hair on my left forearm

Bottom line is the best one is the one you know how to use well.
Almost any flat abrasive surface will give an adequate finish to use. You can even get quite good results with a bit of water, a piece of plate glass and some wet/dry sandpaper. Myself I use some oil stones to put an edge on then a ceramic stick to toich it up as needed.
