The "BEST" one is the one that you have researched and does what you find that fulfills the requirements for your project.

You should probably widen your search into C++ or Java libraries as well as developers want to create code that can easily be adapted to different platforms.
C# is pretty limited to Windows. (I know there is a Linux version, but I don't it runs on Android yet)
With Platform Invoke you can fairly easy create a c# wrapper for accessing C++ DLLs.

A quick search using the phrase "OCR library open source" gives quite a few results including:

Then it is up to you to find the one that is best for your needs.
