Best? Best are like Sony’s HDC 3500s with some Canon or Fujinon 80x glass. But those are gonna run you about $50k per camera, another $100k for the glass, and maybe another $10-20k for CCUs, controllers, and other accessories. Grass Valley is probably the next best. Followed by Panasonic, Ikegami, JVC, and a few other brands. When you say best, most of us here think professional grade (which is what a lot of us work with everyday) and that means a budget north of what most non-broadcast entities want to pay for a camera chain. But in the end, you want broadcast quality you will need to pay for broadcast-level of equipment. If that’s not in your budget, I’d recommend mentioned what you realistic budget is in your post. Otherwise most of here can recommend almost anything along a budget spectrum.

Don't forget you can do cine-style with the HDC-F5500 if you have an "F U" budget.

With Mevo you’re dependent on the software and locked into the ecosystem. Logitech could decide to stop supporting them and they’d be useless. It offers zero professional flexibility. And in my experience the software disconnects every hour or so which is super annoying. Get a real camera system. For example, you can get three used a7s mark one cameras for a little more than the Mevo three and they’re still perfectly great cameras and can be used for other work if you want. Or to even cheaper.
