For White, you mean? There are two fairly serious answers I considered
to your fairly serious question:

1. No, there is no such "best" opening, otherwise there wouldn't be
1000s of different variations.  Start with the Giuoco Piano 1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. c3 and then learn what to do against the
Black deviations that you meet; don't worry about deviations you
haven't met yet. 

2. Yes, it's called the King's Indian Attack.  Shut your eyes and play
1. Nf3/ 2. g3/ 3. Bg2/ 4.  O-O/ 5. d3.  Open them, play 6. Nbd2 and
follow-up with either e4/Re1/Nf1/Ne3/Nh4/f4/f5 or e4/c3/d4/e5 or
c3/a4/Nc4/b4/b5. 

Which answer would you prefer?  ;-)
