Depends on what you mean by best.
Disc brakes tend to offer the most braking power for a given amount of force applied at the lever.
But a disc brake setup is heavier and has poorer aerodynamics than caliper brakes.
And disc brakes wear faster than drum brakes, roller brakes and band brakes.
Disc brakes are not as well sealed as drums or rollers, so performance will still be slightly weather dependent.

How do disc brakes work?
Most modern cars have disc brakes on the front wheels, and some have disc brakes on all four wheels. This is the part of the brake system that does the actual work of stopping the car.The disc brake is a lot like the brakes on a bicycle. Bicycle brakes have a caliper, which squeezes the brake pads against the wheel. In a disc brake, the brake pads squeeze the rotor instead of the wheel, and the force is transmitted hydraulically instead of through a cable. Friction between the pads and the disc slows the disc down.Vented disc brakes have a set of vanes, between the two sides of the disc, that pumps air through the disc to provide cooling.
