For shoulder hypertrophy presses are shit since the main movers are triceps. I recommend that you do flys instead.

Standing overhead barbell press would be my pick for overall.

BUT I guess it depends on how you define best. Best for strength? Maybe a push press. Best for aesthetics? Dumbell press to keep symmetry. Best for lateral delt growth? Behind the neck shoulder press.
