The best conductors of electricity are superconductors; these offer zero resistance.

Many materials will superconduct when sufficiently cooled - most superconductors need to be cooled to within a few degrees of absolute zero, metals including tin and aluminum will superconduct. Somewhat ironically, gold will not superconduct - gold is a very good conductor at room temperatures.

In 1986, some ceramic based materials were found to superconduct at high temperatures - still around -90oC, so not all that high - but making the effect much more useful as liquid nitrogen can be used to cool the materials.

The simple answer to the best METAL conductor. Silver.

What materials conduct electricity the best metal plastic or wood?

Metals conduct electricity the best, as they have many free electrons that can easily move and carry electric charge. Plastic and wood, being insulators, do not conduct electricity well due to their lack of free electrons.
