What is "the best" is subjective and depends on what you value most.
To me the "best" is the cheapest wood, because I heat with it, where "cheap" factors in the amount of time and money necessary to obtain the wood, prepare it, store it, and use it for a given amount of heat. I cut my own trees, drag them with my own machine, cut them into 40-inch lengths, dry them (or not), and burn them in an outdoor boiler. Different destinations call for different measurements of "the best."
Others value heat per volume (e.g., how many BTUs out of a cord?), and even these values are flexible and personal. For example, dried beech would give good heat, but it may cost more than, say, birch or oak. Even *I* know that certain trees aren't worth the sweat, diesel and storage space to bother bringing them in for heat value alone.
There are online tables that compare various heat output of different woods under different conditions (e.g., dry "seasoned" oak with 15 percent moisture vs. green poplar with 80 percent moisture).
Another common measure of wood value (the "best") is how it is prepared. Some people have green logs delivered and then spend the summer cutting them up, splitting the wood and stacking it for later use. Others simply buy a shrink-wrap bundle of dried and split kindling at the grocery store. Sometimes you have to shop around to find a place that carries wood in the length needed for your stove.
Finally, to many the only "best firewood" is that which looks pretty while it burns in the family fireplace or campfire; easy to light, hot flame, pleasant smell. Apple, black cherry and spruce are local favorites. The best firewoods are hardwoods and the best of them are seasoned oak, maple, black locust, beech, cherry, apple, hickory and ash. P.S. I wouldn't burn Spruce as mentioned above.
