For which FPGAs?
For many users, Xilinx WebPACK and Al.tera Qu.artus II Web Edition are "best" because they contain everything you need (for small FPGAs), and they are free.

If u are looking for FPGA synthesis tool, I would suggest u to go for Precision Synthesis or LeonardoSpectrum from Mentor.

These tools are very good for FPGA synthesis.

Else, u can use tools which was suggested by echo47 and it's free.

most of the people are useing synplicity's synplify pro.
but some time synthesis is device dependent, i meen if you ar using xilinx device the you can go for xst some time (not all the time) it will give beter results than synplify pro.
