that is like asking "what is the best car I can fit in my garage".
you have to be a little more specific...price range, goals, number of subs, etc..

lol, price is not an issue and i just want to know what the best brand is and what size gives you the best clarity, what size can fit with a box.

a 10" will fit into a stealth box and sound nice but if you say price isn't an option then how many subwoofers are you looking to run? Do you plan on running multiple amps with 1000W+ with an extra battery, 0AWG wire, etc. or a 400-750W amp with a nice 10" in a stealth enclosure. You are still a little vague. You could fit 10 18" subwoofers in your car if you get creative, so you still need to state your goal.

I have two Alpine Type-R 12's subs running off a Alpine Pdx1.1000 it takes up the entire trunk but it slams. 135 db on the dash. amp 3/4 of the way up. Both subs off Ebay new was 250 shipped the Fiberglass box I made, materials 60-80 bucks, amp 500 shipped and wires 40 shipped. About 900 bucks ish in judt the rear audio. If that helps you any. Very clear speakers, had Rockford speakerss really disliked them not good sound quality. JL speakers are good to better IMO than rock ford speakers. JL speakers are in the florida for sale section...

My single Fi Q12 in a stealthbox will do just as good a job with music. And I say music, not rap. Most 12"s aren't good for stealthboxes but the Q12 works.

JL is better than RF, yes. They're also better than Alpine Type-R, which are fairly low quality drivers.
