| There is no best, but some are made to be cheap and others made of better materials which are costly. Some are made to be lightweight and some are basically cart bags with legs for the younger and stronger to carry. The point is, some stand bags are made to be minimal and some are made to carry as much as you can lift.
I suppose the truth is, you should go to the store and look for a design you like. Consider all the things you might carry in the bag and see if some pocket makes sense as to where you would like to conveniently find whatever it is you would stick in it. Pockets between the legs are useless and pockets that bulge out in the direction of your back when you are carrying the bag are uncomfortable.
Stick a set of clubs in it and see how the straps feel to you. Stand it up and see if it tilts at an angle that is comfortable to you. (I had a nice stand bag that sat so low I practically had to bend over double to get a club out of it.) Needless to say, consider what you can afford. I am personally convinced the brand name on the side of many stand bags is a prime reason for a higher price than an identical bag without some club company's name on the side.
Some of the brands that aren't allied to club companies, but who manufacture the same bags in many cases are Club Glove, (somewhat high end), Datrek, Ogio and Sun Mountain.
