There really isn't a 'best'. In fact UVB is not a necessity. Calcium metabolism can be facilitated through other perfectly acceptable means as far as many reptiles and amphibians are concerned.
It depends on the diet you feed and the supplementation you provide... if any.
There's tons of information out there... much of it is misleading... I suspect for the sake of simplicity.
If you're here to learn... specific questions are going to be your best bet because this is a really complex issue.

Thanking you, Moira.
