The best are scratch or bash, but to answer your question the best kits are Faller, Design Preservation, Walther Conerstone, and some Model Power. Also don't overlook older craftsman kits made by various companies from wood, metal, and plaster that some older hobby shops have had for years. With inflation and devaluation of the dollar over the years these can now be a real bargin. In fact I like most kits except really cheap ones like plasticville. Almost any kit can be made to look fantastic with a little care, fitting, and paint. The trouble with cheap kits are warped pieces and poor detail more than anything. Examples are chinmneys that measue 12 feet by 10 feet on a house and doors that are 4 feet tall. Or walls that have a 1/2 bow in them. Avoid most snap togethers.
