you can get some neat rss readers with yahoo widgets or klipfolio

If by best you mean the simplest and quickest to load, then many free ones are available including one of my favourites, Abilon

If you want loads of features and don't mind the odd crash and waiting ages for it to start up, you probably can't beat Omea RSS reader

Note that if you're running Firefox, try Sage, Wizz or Fizzle; if you're running Internet Explorer, windows live toolbar has great rss reading functionality built into it. Also, the free browser Deepnet Explorer has a fantastic rss reader and is strangely underappreciated....
