many good ones mentioned above.
just read through the posts here over the next 1 week and you'll get a sense of what people use. Mostly important to try many, find one you like, and learn to use it properly. VERY TOUGH TO FIND A TRULY BAD PRODUCT out there these days, even at Kmart.
So all the arguments over this choice in here just amount to experts disagreeing over very fine points. Just one comment - don't use a cleaner-wax (like Meguiars #6) as your routine "once every two weeks" wax. Cleaners and abrasive polishes (as opposed to waxes and sealants) rarely need to be used.
The list by Jabez is a good one.

I try almost every product that comes down the road and some have a great shine and others are very durable but Zaino is the only one that delivers both IMHO.
Make sure you do the baggie test after you pick up your C6, some times they will pick up rail dust and contaminents in transit.
Baggie Test
Place hand in baggie and lightly rub over clean surface. The baggie will amplify any embedded grit allowing you to feel it better.

You can ask that question and get 20 different answers. That's like asking which is the best soda or which fast food burger is the best.
In my case, I sat down and made a list of what I wanted the product to do. Some people enjoy putting a coat of wax/polymer every week or two, some would rather only do it every few months. Different strokes for different folks. Some products look better on darker color vehicles, etc...
You should browse the regional events section of the forum and see if there any vette meetings coming up in your area. Take your list that you made, and walk around and talk with the other owners. Ask them what they use and the pro's and con's to their products. This way you can see with your own eyes what the products look like and hopefully find a few cars in your color so you can really get a good view.
