There are pros and cons to all test kits. I've used Hagen, Salifert, Seachem, API, and Elos and I honestly cant recommend one as 'the best'.
If you're just cycling a tank right now a Nitrite and Nitrate kit would be good. For keeping stoney coral later I like Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium. Phosphate is nice to have too but generally you can just look at your tank and if you see a lot of problem algae you will know you have high phosphates (but at least with a kit you'll know how high).
