there is no best, its all personal preference.
i like 8 to 8.25, but 8.125 is my favorite.
nice rounded nose and tail, nose a tiny bit bigger than the tail, but neither small.. medium concave, ends a little steeper than normal.

7.75. Anything lower flips too fast.

I like 9.5s. It's comfortable and I can 360 flip a large board just fine.

Anywhere from 7.75-8 inches. I like a shallowish concave.

7.75 is my preference. I'm only a 9.5 shoe though and my feet are pretty much done growing.

8.25-8.5
Mellow concave, not too steep nose or tail, slightly larger nose...

I love 8 inches...I've never tried anything bigger though. I might sometime. I rode my cousin's smaller deck (like 7.5) the other day and it felt so wrong.
The nose and tail I like to be symmetrical shape wise. I HATE when one end is more round than the other or shaped like a banana. Nice and round on both ends suits me. But not square. I hate that too.
The nose being a little longer and steeper is better though...since pretty much all decks are like that anyway.
Around medium concave.

7.75 by 31.25-31.5 and medium to steep concave (my favorite is the sturdy mold from blankdecks.com)

my deck is pretty wide. probably 8. i like a little more than medium concave. my friend has a thinner deck and it feels so weird.

7.8-7.9, shallow-medium concave for better control
