That's a pretty open-ended question. There really is no "best". There are different kinds of kits available depending on what you are looking for. Are you looking to purchase a polisher?

Sonus is a good source for pads and towells as well as polishes and waxes. Zaino is a great source for a piant sealant.
I finally decided on what to get. Based on 3 separate forums these are the items I chose from 3 different suppliers. I hope this aprox. 350.00 in supplies lasts the year at least. 
Now I need to find a PRO to help me learn how to use them or do some serious studying on this forum. Warmer weather is coming in the Cincinnati, OH area.
I chose SONUS for the inside and cloth supplies because they were recommended heavily and I had a one time discount to take some of the $ pain away. I did see that ZAINO had more positive things to say about true cotton cloth then the synthetic so I hope I made the correct choice there.
I choose ZAINO for the first wash, wax as the majority of the people I polled said their coat will last a long time. Even though i have a dark color car I do not want to wax it more than twice a year.
I choose AutoGeek for the bucket and misc supplies because their price was cheapest in this category.

Your choices are good and should last you several years (excluding QD and shampoo if you are least wash often)
High quality MF, like the ones from Autopia (Sonus), are excellent and a preferred substitute for expensive high quality 100% USA cotton towels.
Have fun and Merry Xmas in March!
