"Best" means lots of things to lots of people. The only thing you specified was cost. Post what else is important to you and you'll get more specific answers.

Consider:

Ease of ingress/egress.

Vestible size, or no vestibule.

Versatility.

Ease of setting up.

Ventilation.

Weight.

Bulk.

Freestanding or not.

Durability.

Single wall or double wall.

2, 3 or 4 season.

Color. Yes that's important to some people.

And that's just off the top of my head. The best tent for me may not be the best tent for you.
