Complex question. I've used General Hydroponics-hydro, AN-hydro, General Organic-soil, and Aurora (Roots Organic)-soil. For me, AN wins in soup. Aurora is SUBLIME in soil. No disrespect to any other nute mfg. In the hands of a gifted grower, bat shite, mushroom compost, and oyster shell powder is all that you need. Add water, makes its own sauce 
The plant doesn't care what NPK you give them, just as long as they get it, when they want it. You can spend a mint on a nute line, so choose wisely! Also depends on your budget as well. I would pick something reputable and have a starting point with how much you want to spend and go shopping. I could tell you to go buy brand X, but it is more a personal thing. If ease is your style, a 2 part A&B will do. If you like to really get down and tailor your feeds, a 3 part might work out better.
I use AN, just bought the Mills for another tent, to see if it works just as good. Like Waximus said, Kind of a complex question. Best bang for the buck in my area right now, Mills A&B quarts and 1 each of the additives for the money spent, but I love my AN nutes and feed schedule too. If you want more organic side of things, the Growmore line is inexpensive and has great results for growers here too!!

That's a very hard question to answer. To keep it simple I like to use General Hydroponic Flora nova series. It depends on your budget. Briman is correct about the Heavy sixteen A and B nutrients at least I think that's what he meant by A and B. A lot of people use the Fox Farm trio. What ever line you get make sure you get some Cal/Mag supplement also. Good luck
Nutrients do not make a grow a success, its how you manage the grow overall, there is ALOT of snake oil in the cannabis business when it comes to nutes. Keep it simple. General Hydroponics is always a safe bet. Personally i use skunk labs for Deep Water Culture.
Prior i used Gen Hydro and go no real complaints

Hey!
Truly, the best nutrients are the ones that work best for you and your plants!!
Take a look around, fortunately a lot of the companies make kits. You could try out a brand and see if it works for you. I use Rock and have been happy with it. One thing though, in the beginning, keep it simple, follow the directions with the exception of strength (autos are sensitive and usually require less).
Peace and happy growing.

Was not really referring to Heavy 16, but that is a good one too!! Any A&B is simple enough to get.
Yes, like swampy said, TLO is great too. It all boils down to personal preference, kind of like buying underwear, so in essence, swampy doesn't were them!!
He's going Comando!!
