I think "best" is all up to user preference. I personally like to use PyCharm when I am building a very large project as it, to me, is the best full blown IDE for python. Most of the time it is overkill though, and i actually do a lot of my programming in something basic like Notepad++. I like Notepad++ better than IDLE because it allows you to keep however many files you are working with within the same window. It also allows you to work with files that aren't python files (.dyr, .idv, etc), and also has pretty good syntax highlighting. When I want to run a python script that I am working on in Notepad++, I usually go to Command Prompt (or PSSE Command Prompt) and run it from there.
