I don't think anyone can answer your question definitively. You might check out this reduced list, read the accompanying text, and make a decision based on your desires and budget. https://oscarliang.com/top-5-best-fc-mini-quad/

1. Forget about F1 FC, F3/F4 are the way to go right now. (F1/F3/F4 differences
2. choose one of the FC firmware: KISS or Raceflight or Betaflight
3. what features you need? PDB integrated? OSD? 12V/5V BEC? and so on... this FC guide explains the features.

If you choose a generic f3 / f4 board, my gyro recommendation: mpu6000 & SPI Smile

Other than that, what previous posts said.

Sound advice.

Asking 'what's the best flight controller?' is similar to asking 'how long is a piece of string?'.

It all depends on what features you need, what frame you are going to use, which motors, FPV or LOS, etc, etc.

What you want to build is the first question and will cut that list in half. Then, which features are 'must have' and which are 'nice to have' will cut another half off the list. Then budget and availability will reduce it to maybe ten.

I will say that bang for buck, the Omnibus F3 is a great FC. You can find it as low as $22 from various stores (pitchrollyaw.net, readytoflyquads.com, etc). It can take straight lipo power in, and has a 5v output rail so it can be used without a PDB in some cases. Even better, it has built in OSD that works great.
With mine I'm actually using the ESC input plug (rather than wiring up each ESC wire) so I end up only having to solder Power, Video In/Out and my receiver. 7 wires in total to the FC makes for a very clean and easy setup.
