.44 Special for me. It's not actually "better" than any other big bore cartridge, and could be said to be objectively worse than things like the .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, etc. in that those cartridges can match the .44 Special, but the .44 Special can't hope to match the bigger cartridges. I just don't generally need magnum horsepower these days, and prefer a lighter gun that still makes big holes in paper.
Mostly, though, I just like the history of the cartridge, and its association with so many of our old famous shooters and writers.
I always say there are only 3 useful handgun cartridges:Other. .22LR
Wonderfully accurate, absence of recoil and report make it a great choice for new shooters, cheap caliber (relatively) especially for non-reloaders, to learn trigger control and accurate shooting techniques. Every range session begins and ends with a .22.
Some folks must agree because a lot of .22 revolvers get sold.
