Really, the best hockey stick depends on your own opinion, but my personal favorite is the Warrior Kronik. It is a very expensive (300-350$) hockey stick that has a nice look, good weight and great durability. If you have the money, this is the stick to go for.
The Nike Bauer sticks have good flex for slapshots and ristshots.
A hockey stick should be measured and chosen when you have your skates on, or unless you have good judgment because a hockey stick should be no lower than your nose level( with your skates on). And its how ever you feel comfortable with your stick your the one who's gonna play with it. Its good to have the stick a little bit long so you have a nice long reach for the puck while not getting to close to the player with the puck -but- then again not too long.(:
Technically speaking, there is no "best" hockey stick, though there are many good ones. Personally, I would choose Reebok 10k. It also depends on what position you are, and what kind of player you are. Are you a grinder? Sniper? Dangler? These all help determine the attributes of yourself, and what kind of stick you should buy.
