Yes, many different Special Forces were used. British troops were brought in by small submarines many times in the weeks before to assess the beaches. On the day itself, British Commandos and American Rangers were assigned to many of the really hard, well defended targets like special gun emplacements, radio sites, command sites etc. Almost all of the Special Forces achieved their objectives.

Are green berets the best special forces unit?

They are the only official US Army Special Forces unit; they are called SF men for short. Any other such men or units are also categorized as "special operations units" but that is simply a catch all phrase to avoid using a lot of confusing terms. "Special forces" is used generically in other countries, but in the US, it specifically means only the Green Berets.Now, the best Green Berets are asked to try out for Delta Force, with only the top 0.1% making it in. Delta is a "special operations" unit, not "Special Forces," but they are more elite.

Which special forces unit in World War 2 had a spade incorporated into it's patch?

I'm not aware of any special forces unit in the US that had a spade (or shovel) as part of their patch. The 1st Special Service Forces were a mixture of American and Canadian commandos who wore a RED arrowhead with USA and CANADA inscribed on it. I thought you might refer to the US Engineers. But their collar brass was a Castle. Germany had an organization that worked on defenses but they were not a special forces fighting unit.
