Holly and Glen pretty much summed it up, there is no such thing as best, all stones that are considered razor quality by the community will work.
For example my 1-12k line up is a mixed bag of choseras, super stones, Norton 4/8k and a shapton GS, I use them however I feel like and always get good results.
For me finishers are another category in its own. I use mainly Jnats and I have not had a razor yet that does not finish well on them, it just comes down to how you use the stone for the particular razor. I have gotten great edges off eschers, CF, and coticules too. So for me pretty much it boils down to what you prefer to using and what kind of edge you like , because IMO that is the difference between Jnat, Escher, Coticule etc. when you deal with finishers.
