Don't know about what the best might be, but you're welcome to take a look at GCAM SE - it does take a little getting used to, but it's what I use. Take a look at the wiki section for a short introduction on how it works or check out the screenshots...
I use Blendercam. Its a python add-on for blender and both are open source projects.
If you want 3D for milling, then it is hard to beat Autodesk Fusion 360. It is a full featured CAD/CAM software that is available for free to hobbyists, and companies that make less than $100,000 per year.
