I don't generally label programs as "best". I previously listed a number of programs I keep on my Linux laptop. Some are native Linux apps and some are Windows apps that I've installed via PlayOnLinux, based on Wine (originally a recursive acronym---Wine is not an emulator).
ETA - Rereading the above, I realized I could install foobar2000 via PlayOnLinux as well.
Each editor has its idiosyncrasies so it's probably best to focus on one and understand through testing how it works. As a simple example, it took me a while to understand the default settings in Mp3tag [1] and how to manipulate them to suit my purposes.
I also like to use Python modules such as pytaglib and mutagen to write scripts which can explore and modify metadata.

[1] note that the names of programs such as Mp3tag and Kid3 reflect their origins as MP3/ID3 editors but they now handle a wide variety of audio file formats. Just be sure not to accidentally add an ID3 tag on a FLAC file, for example; that confuses MPD.
