There is no best concealed handgun. There is a best concealed handgun for you! And, only you can be the judge of that.
Size) Were on or about your body are you going to conceal the weapon? How big or small are you?
Caliber) Find an instructor with access to a variety of guns in different calibers. Shoot 22 LR up to 44 mag and above if you choose. Determine what caliber best suits your physical and mental constitution.
Style) Find an instructor with access to a variety of guns in different styles. Semi-auto, revolver, single action, double action, double action only etc. Pay attention to the different safety configurations. Determine what style handgun best matches your aptitude for mechanical complexiety.
Once you can answer these questions, you can start shopping for a handgun. Once you obtain a gun practice regularly.
After decades of experience with guns "my" best/regular carry gun is a Glock 26.
It is small, high capacity -13 rounds with extended magazine- decently potent caliber 9mm (particually with high performence JHP bullets) and completely reliable. 100% reliable in my case. I owned the gun since 1996 and never had a failure.
In the end it is your choice. Do research and get practicle experience, eventually it will become completely obvious to you what the right best concealed Handgun for you will be.
If you are going to ignore this advice and get a handgun anyway. I recomend any small framed SW revolver in 38 special. These revolvers are small, easy to shoot, completely reliable and "practically" idiot proof. Perhaps a Smith and Wesson 638. My second favorite concealed handgun and my wife primary concealed weapon.

Best is a relative term that has to many variables.
I'm assuming you mean "past felony." No, you cannot. Generally speaking, any felony on your record makes you a prohibited person (you cannot legally own or possess a firearm), unless you have had your rights restored.
