Hundreds of different designs were built and fielded in WWII. Of that total, the best (meaning reliable, rugged, easily mass produced, easily maintained, and could go almost anywhere):
1. Soviet (Russian) BT tank; one of the fastest & earliest tanks ever made mounting a high velocity main gun.
2. Soviet (Russian) T34 medium tank; built upon lessons learned from the BT tank.
3. Japanese Type 95 light tank; first mass produced diesel light tank and the only enemy tank in history to have invaded North America.
4. M4 Sherman medium tank. Like the T34, rugged & dependable & easily mass produced & maintained.
All other tanks were either experimental or field expedients until the tanks mentioned above came on line. The experimentals evolved into post WWII tanks...such as the M26 Pershing (90mm gun tank) which evolved into the M46 Patton, which evolved into the M47 Patton, which evolved into the M48 Patton, etc. etc. etc.
