There really is no "best"

Personally I like Phoebus

As said there is no best set.
I drift between nearly all of them, through I've probally spent the most time in default ASCII.

Until we get total control over what shows up as what, they're all compromises between slightly ~*embellished*~ but basically fancy-looking ASCII and heavily stylized but confusing and fucked up in places.

The default ASCII is more consistent and practical once you get over the speed bump and you start seeing the shapes past the letters and numbers. The colors are rather stark and strain the eyes after long sessions, though - consider using an alternate color pack.
