To me, the best version of D&D depends entirely what you want out of it. Want a good solid miniatures adventure game? 4e. Want a detailed cross class system with emphasis on character customisation and taking things in your own direction? 3.5e (Pathfinder). Want a modular set of rules where you can decide if and when you want to start adding things like maps/minis and more advance sections of the rules? 5e.

In my mind, these are all good games. They are just different games with there own pros and cons. The big difference that will make them is the play group and their willingness to get into it.
