"Best" is a matter of opinion.
The "best" water pressure is one that allows you to use the lowest possible pressure to allow proper function of all your fixtures. This reduces the stress on all of the pipes, fittings, fixtures, and appliances that require water.
Typical residential water pressure runs between 30psi and 80psi.

Excessive water pressure can lead to various issues in residential homes. It can cause stress on pipes, joints, and fittings, leading to leaks and bursts. It can also damage appliances and fixtures such as washing machines, dishwashers, and faucets. Additionally, high water pressure can result in noisy pipes and excessive water usage, which can increase water bills.
There are many cause of this, but the primary reasons are in the pressure tank. The tank MUST have residual air pressure of around 27 psi to drive the water system. To analyse further I need to know what kind of tank you have and what air pressure is in it when the water ceases to flow. I need to know what pressure your pump starts and if the tank feels heavy (full of water) when the pressure is low.

The range of normal residential water pressure is from 30 to 80 psi. Ideally, the pressure should be set between 45 and 60 pounds in most residential Plumbing systems.If the pressure rises too high particularly above 80 psi, plumbing fixtures and appliances (primarily water heaters) could be damaged or leak excessively.

Static pressure can be caalculated by simply measuring the height of the faucet from the highest fixture above this faucet and times the height by .434 for static pressure

The residential house Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) usually has setting capabilities of between 25-75 PSI. Normally, 50 PSI is suitable.
The pressure is determined by the "pressure switch" typically located at the pressure tank. The switch monitors system pressure and will turn the pump off when the water pressure reaches a predetermined level. As water is used - drawn off the pressure tank - the switch will turn the pump back on at a lower pressure. Switches are typically 30-50 or 40-60 (contacts closing at the lower pressure setting and opening at the higher setting).
