What kind of router would you say is the best
Whatever you like the best for the job you are doing at the time.
Small trimming jobs... edging or laminate...
General routing... maybe some 2-1/2 HP router with the features you like... for hand plunging... or for a router table... etc.
High Power required table routing using large raised panel bits... etc.
For each class, it's like buying a car... Fords, Chevys, Cads, Rolls, etc. etc.
Maybe you should state the class and your price range?
I have a Hitachi KM12VC combo kit that I got on Sale at Rockler... I really like the best.
I have some other routers that I got off of eBay a long time ago... they're good in their own way... non table use.
