The best Control Panel???

I've used and tested several panels, currently using cPanel for production services and have DirectAdmin on a beta server.

I think for the hosting industry, the end user who has very limited knowledge of what they're doing would prefer DirectAdmin. Its clean, very basic/simple, and lightweight.

cPanel/WHM is my personal preference, as it contains more features and control then DirectAdmin. Seems to be the preference for most webmasters. Can be tweaked to run using minimal memory, plenty of amazing web tutorials upon quick Google search.

I also have learned to really like Kloxo. Out of the free control panels, i'd have to say its the best.
 
For many, cPanel is the best and only option, for others it's Directadmin. They both do more or less the same on an average user's point of view. But there is no doubt that cPanel currently dominates the market.

cPanel/WHM

User Friendly in all aspects, I would say thee best software available.

I have tried Plesk and Direct admin I think thats what it is called. I did not like them to much they were hard to understand and not so user friendly when it came to doing certain things.

My suggestion to you would be to demo all of them and see which one best suites the needs of yourself and your clients. Find out what add-ons you can or can not use with each of them. Also find out if the billing software you choose will work with the the control panel your choose to do auto creation of certain tasks, ie. account creation, Account suspension, termination etc.

Thanks,
