What do you think is the best form of government? Monarchy? like the middle east or astrocracy which i dont think exists anymore, or democratic which most of the countries claim to be!
Aristocracies still exist in England and Monaco for example. They are watered down from medieval days but they still exist. Aristocracies are not really a form of government but a social caste system.
The answer to your question depends on defining "best". The most efficient form of government is a totalitarian regime. A dictator is not bound by anyone else in making decisions. So things can get done more quickly and efficiently. But a totalitarian regime is too often oppressive. When in the hands of a benevolent dictator that puts the needs of the people first, it can be the best form of government.
The least efficient is a democracy. The time needed get the will of the people makes the government slow moving and unable to respond quickly to issues.
A republic (which is what the US is, we are not a democracy) helps make things more efficient by putting the power into the hands of a small group who can make the decisions more quickly. But it can still be unwieldy. A federated republic (again what the US is) helps this by introducing an executive empowered to make the quick decisions sometimes needed. But, here again, you are concentrating power into one person which can lead to abuses (ala George W Bush).
Many different systems of government have their own advantages and disadvantages. I believe the US has come up with the best compromise employing a triumvirate (Executive, Legislative, Judicial) that can act as checks and balances to prevent the gross abuse of power.
