No... I have contracts from the majority of networks listed on the first page, and can tell you without a doubt there is no "BEST" network out there.
They all offer different terms and payments which means that the best network is going to be whichever one works best for each individual situation.
For example, some networks pay off of a % scale. So if you have a 60% revenue share and your ads bring in $100 of ad revenue you would get $60 in that month.
Other networks pay off of a flat $/CPM scale. CPM or cost per thousand impressions is essentially how much you get paid per 1,000 views. So If you had a flat $2 CPM and you got 30,000 views in a month you would get $60 in that month.
Also, each network has their own specifications as to what they require out of you, what they expect out of you, and what the terms are for their particular network. So all networks will give you access to the partner tools like partner banners, customized thumbnails, reports, but they also have individualized bonuses. Some networks give you royalty free music to use. Some networks promote you through a hub channel or director programs. Some networks offer other perks. Some networks have long term contract periods, some networks have short contract periods, some networks have no length of contracts at all. Some networks will negotiate their contracts, others have them set in stone.
To sum it up, work on growing your channel to the point that you are receiving around 1k views per month and then you will be able to approach a variety of networks at the same time and receive contracts from them all then make an individual decision for who is going to work best for you.
