what are the best ones?

There are no "Best" mics. while some may be considered better than others, it boils down to what you're trying to do and what you expect to achieve. A $5.00 mic might be the "best" mic for a given application.
 
+1.
Your intended application will limit your choices to some extent, but so will the sound of your source and the environment you're in.

How many more of these types of questions are you going to ask? Seriously.

Go read for a week and then come back and ask some questions.
 
i know diddly squat when it comes to mice. what are the best ones? please help!

Well, my top-5 manufacturers are (alphabetically):- DPA, Microtech Gefell, Neumann, Schoeps and Sennheiser.

But there is no "best" mic. for everything - you would choose a different mic. depending on what is being recorded, the instrument that is being recorded, the musician and the room.

Take the same musician and the same instrument into a different room and you may find that a different mic. is needed to get the best result.

That's why professionals have lots of different mics from several different manufacturers.
