In my opinion the best known model of Alto Saxophone is a Selmer Mark VI. Most people consider Selmer to be of the highest quality. However, it all depends on personal preference and what kind of mouth piece, ligature and reed you are using. Other great brands are Cannonball and Yanagisawa. If you are Saxophone shopping be sure to try out the actual saxophone that you are interested in because a brand can mean nothing if you're not comfortable on it.
Favorite? Bundy 2 by Selmer.
He obviously has lots of saxophones but the only clue I've got is for his Alto Sax, his primary alto is Selmer Mark VI.
The six types of saxophones are:sopraninosopranoaltotenorbaritonebass
From highest pitch to lowest pitch there are Soprillo, Sopranino, Soprano, Alto, C-Melody, Tenor, Baritone, Bass, Contrabass, Subcontrabass. The alto, tenor, and baritone saxes are most common. The rest are usually found in certain jazz pieces or just owned as novelties. Tubax is a brand name that makes horns that go as low or lower than a bass or contra-bass without being as large in size.
It depends on what kind of music you play, but mainly go Semler, Yamaha, Yanagisawa, King, H-Couf, Cannonball, Conn, & Buesher are the most common. Try different saxophones untill you find the one, that's perfect for you
These are the most common types of saxophone. Alto and Barritone saxophones are Eb transposing instruments. Soprano and Tenor saxophones are Bb transposing instruments.

There is no way to chose which saxophone is the best due to the wide range of saxophones. The first step is to chose what type, most people chose an alto saxophone. Then it depends on what type of music you are playing, but if you are looking for an all-around good Alto Saxophone the Yamaha-875EX (Custom) is one of the most popular. However, there are other great saxophones out there, so you'll need to decide which is best for you on your own.
