Define "best".

The fastest I've used is mc (curses-only, no graphics). If you want something nearly identical to Windows Explorer, its xfe. Xfe is actually pretty speedy, loading in less than a second. TKdesk is also very fast.

I use mc for most things, actually.

I' m looking for a good file manager to save the work (and time) of using the shell command line. Just to do usual things like copy, move, rename and delete files, allowing the user to choose the editor and the viewer he wants to use. A good file manager must have the possiblity of select (tag) files for posterior operations, but besides that, it must make distinction between the same operation made in the current file, and the operation made with the tagged files.
