There is no
BEST IRC network. Each has its own benefits for users.
Some users prefere small networks, others want large networks. Some want IRC networks with Services support for channel and nick name registrations, others dislike it.
Some users use it just for chatting others use it as a place to communicate about different topics or search for information on those topics.
This is one reason for different types of IRC networks. Choose the one which best suits your personal needs.
