The definition of "best" depends on your needs and deployment scenario.
However, you should check the ICSAlabs Network Intrusion Prevention
certification program.

The certified products,

have passed a very tight certification testing that needs to be
maintained, or the product gets desertified.

Picking any of the certified products should be a safe choise.

Hello mailing list,
I would like to buy the "best" system available to the IPS network of
my business. My company has only 200 users, all share an Internet
connection (10 m). We now use Sonicwall to connect, but we are
concerned about the hostile e-mails, malware websites, and people in
piracy. Who produces the best job? Which is most capture hacker
attempts? The product should not interfere with operations on the
network (all connection is filled by the backup off-site at nite).
Many thanks,
SB
