Many people have their own idea of what "thing" is better than the other "thing" but what makes it better? Is it your opinion that it's better or is it the majority rule?
Take stunt bikes for example, Rider #1 may think the Yamaha R6 is the best stunt bike, although the reasoning is because "my favorite stunt rider has one and we all know he/she's the best!"
Meanwhile rider #2 swears by Honda cbr600rr "because his uncles, daughters, husbands, brother rode on one and he said it's the best!"
Rider #3 on the other hand, likes the Kawasaki zx6/636 "because everyone makes parts for them and they are cheaper to find"
Rider #4 rides whatever he can get his hands on and believes "the best bike to stunt on is the one you have."
So is there really a way to find the best stunt bike? Yes. But it isn't as easy as you may think nor will be just one make& model that's the best.
In order to find the best anything, you must figure out what the best means to you, the individual person, who is different from every other individual person out there, you and only you alone can decide what the best stunt bike is for you, the rider.
The first thing to do is make a list of things you look for in a motorcycle that you will be stunt riding on. Weight, Length, Rake, Trail, Power, gearing, parts you want, will they fit? Can you fit the bike? How much modification will it need to get what you want.
Next make a list of how available the parts are, how easy it will be to modify the bike, and how much will it cost.
Is this a bike you are willing to rebuild multiple times or maybe even throw away... Sometimes both...
Make a list for everything you can think of and go over the pros and cons of that information. After all of that you may have narrowed your list of bikes down to a close 2-4 bikes that do what you need.
Many times if you are a new rider, Rider#4 may have the right idea that the best bike to stunt on, is the one you have.
And when you become more proficient at stunts and riding in general, you will have a more knowledgable idea of what you need in a bike and can then make a decision on what bike would be the best bike for a stunt bike.
