Greetings,
There is no one temperament that is the "best" for everything. Equal
temperament is the most commonly used compromise, but is now being joined by
a wide variety of past methods.

I would suggest that you find a copy of Owen Jorgensen's "Tuning the
Historical Temperaments by Ear" and listen to a selected few. There are no
reasons to limit yourself to any single temperament.
