Haha,
"Which religion is the right religion?"
"How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"
EDIT: Oh!!!!! I just found out this was my 800th post and I ruined it with a sarcastic jab at a noobie! Why am I such a jerk!?

I seriously hope that you arn't planning on making a purchasing descision based on that comment alone.
That would be like walking into a bar and calling out "what car should I buy", and then going and getting a Dodge Neon because Jimmy (The guy in the hat in the corner) called it out first.
Take some time to do some reasearch and make an educated buying descision...
Start by asking yourself what you want and what your needs are? What are you shooting? How are you shooting? Are you in the studio our out on location mostly? Do you travel a lot and need a small light weight kit? how about quality, importance of light loss? simplycty and speed of setup? weight? etc..?
Once you have a basuc understading of what your needs are, then head over to the 35mm adapters section and read up on the different types of units. There are some GREAT introductory threads describing the differences between the various types of units on the market. Read up on reviews, check out some of the footage (though that is subjective of course) that' sbeen posted. Then if you have any specific questions, feel free of course to ask them.
In the end you'll have a much better understanding of your needs and the equipment available. If possibly rent/borrow a unit and try it out. Only then, after all this, will you know and undestand what your best option to buy would be.

lol, why not just answer the man..
the sgpro of course...
Sorry,
but most people will agree that the absolut best adapter on this planet is the
Cine35 (Made in Germany) and most refer to this little montage witch also shows the best compression settings for Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sK3AqFYAWQ

it all depends on what you shoot, how you like to work and what your budget is.
they ALL have their pluses and minuses.
from what ive seen. the cinevate brevis is by far the easiest to use (it doesnt "require" rails to use). as far as imagery goes, i like what ive seen from the sgpro the best. BUT ive seen great footage from just about all the various adapters. AND every adapter out there is going to perform differently under each persons use. if you dont know squat about photography and lenses, there is a good chance you'll get crap results from ALL OF THEM!
there is such a WIDE array of variables to consider. you just need to do your homework, search the forums. see which would fit your needs better and get to work.
there is no "best"

Please search, answer your questions and then come back with more specific ones. The 35mm adapter sub-forum has tons of info on all adapters, how to use them, etc. Start there.
