There is no such thing: best for what?, in what situation?, expecting what results?
For instance, in a noisy environment, or in a bad sounding room, I'd prefer a typical sm57 over a Sennheiser MKH 80 (which would be my first choice for -generally speaking- plucked instruments in optimal circumstances). Though, none of them is great (IMO) for bowed instruments...

I worked for many years in a top Manhattan studio that had an obscene number of mics. U47's, U67's, old RCA ribbons, 414's, literally every mic that's ever been coveted. Many of them had their specific uses and sounded fantastic on some things but not others. A 414 could sound as bad on voice as it sounded good on piano, the U47 could sound brilliant on some voices but not so on others, the list goes on. But the one mic that always sounded good on absolutely everything you put it in front of was the Neumann U87. These mics were quite common and most considered them somewhat pedestrian but you could always count on a very good sound no matter what the use. If I could only own one condenser mic, it would be the U87. Of course they run 2 or 3 grand now, back in the 80's I think you could get them for a grand.

Or not... Really it depends on what you are recording, where, how and why
