	I don't know if there is a 'best', per se, but for the use that you are
asking, I would recommend Reflex (or Reflex Plus) by Borland Int'l.  I have
used it for many different types of databases and have found it to be flexable
enough to handle all of my needs.  It is very mac-like and therefore easy to use
and set up for use.
