'best' means different things to different people, all depends on what you
are prepared to pay, what level of service you require, what support (free
to 50p/min!) you expect to need, any extras you need, like static ip, ip
blocks, email, webspace, no port throttling to allow p2p apps to work, what
download limit you can live with (for me 330Gb/month makes me feel safe)
many isps give away free modem/antivirus as an incentive to join a poor
service with a 12 month contract - dont be fooled, adsl modems cost from a
fiver on ebay, antivirus is free!
personally i'm with vivacity, an enternet reseller, very happily paying
£20/month.

With Zen minimum contract is 1 month, so you can migrate
if their service doesn't meet all your needs. There is also
the Distance Selling Regulations if you want to cancel
immediately.
It depends on what you want, and your expected
useage.
Some providers, the most heavily promoted in some
cases are terrible.
With one you frequently can't reach some web sites, like
eBay, Hotmail, Orange webmail, the trace stops at
BRU1 (Brussels) going into Europe and at Level3 (Denver)
going into the States. Set up a VPN to a server in
the States and "Try again" works, they are there.
(UK eBay seems to be on servers in the States?)
Some have lousy news servers, incomplete groups,
low retention.
Some have a fair useage policy.
Some throttle some protocols like P2P over certain
periods.
Some have download limits.
AFAIK there is no spreadsheet listing the pros
and cons of each.
