It is good that Cpanel is the most popular. It seems to be the most user friendly at an elementary level. When a CP has popularity across the industry it makes it easier to perform migrations and other similar tasks. But, overall it isn't in my opinion what is most popular but what is most helpful to an individual user and their individual system setup. That is why so many different options are available. There really is no "one size fits all".

I really don't think that there is a best panel. Everyone will have a pro and con. Problem with a lot of them is they rig themselves into the system *cough* like AOL *cough* and then you have to do things their way or everything can break and mess up.

I have tried Webmin and Virtualmin Pro and I think for a power user who still wants a GUI it's great. For hosting it was down to cPanel only as that's what people are familiar with and they have great support along with a product ecosystem built around it.
