All cables are best depending, what are the requirements. Let us put some cases:

Case-1: Customer need a connectivity of nodes on/ Mbps interface of switch and the laying of cable is indoor on a tray or inside duct and environment is non industrial than recommended cable is "CAT-6A UTP"

Case-2:  Customer need a connectivity of nodes on/ Mbps OR// Mbps interface of switch and the laying of cable is indoor on a tray or inside duct and environment is industrial than recommended cable is "CAT-6A STP"

Case-3: Customer need a connectivity of nodes on// Mbps OR Gigabit interface of switch and the laying of cable is indoor on a tray or inside duct  with cable length of more than meter and environment is industrial than recommended cable is "OPTICAL FIBER CABLE" Type Multi-mode 

Case-4: Customer need a connectivity of nodes on// Mbps OR Gigabit interface of switch and the laying of cable is outdoor direct burial in ground or Arial cable with cable length of more than meter and environment is industrial or non industrial than recommended cable is "OPTICAL FIBER CABLE" Type Single-mode

We cannot determine how is the best without know what it is work.

I means every type of cables best in its domain. Example,  the newest internet revolution the best is Optical Fiber. old TV the best is Coaxial cable. as this.

of-curse it is  depends upon the situation and requirement. But as compare to other cables like properties, speed, features the Fibre Optic is best. but it is costly to other cables

  Fiber Optics are the best because their speed is better then the others  to transfare the data and there are many factors to make fiber optics in first of the list

Fiber optic cable, also called as optical fiber cable, is a type of Ethernet cable which consists of one or more optic fibers that are used to transmit data. Fiber optic cable transmits data as pulses of light go through tiny tubes of glass. The transmission capacity of optical fiber cable is 26,000 times higher than that of twisted pair cable.
