RE: best broadheads...?
I have used Thunderheads & Muzzy both get the job done. I would not hesitate using G5, SlickTricks, Magnus, or Shuttle T, and I am sure there are a few others. There are alot of good heads out there shoot what you like. Everyone has their favorite.

Favorites I've used on deer:
Fixed head: Slick Trick
Mechanicals: Rocket Steelheads, Wolverine, Sidewinder, Miniblaster (After a dozen deer- I've experienced small entry holes, but generally good blood trails and recovered deer in 60 yards or less)
I'm going to give Spitfires a try.

I remember when they came out with the satellite broadheads.

I have shot muzzy for 20 years, dont see a need in changing. If a broahead does what you want it to do, why change. When I first started bowhunting many years ago there were very few broadheads on the market. Bear razorheads and magnus were the mainstay. I remember when they came out with the satellite broadheads. I started using them they had a couple of bad faults to them. One they didnt fly all that great and second the blades had a bad habit of coming off inside the deer. I remember finding several arrows after passing thru a deer and there would be 1 blade left or none, if you were lucky enough to even find it. Had to be very careful when cleaning a deer not to cut yourself. Been many improvements in broadhead tech in the last 30 years.

RE: best broadheads...?
I shoot Thunderheads and have since...well...almost since I started hunting. I tried other things over the years...Wasps, mechanical...usually with worse results.
I don't think there is one best, or even half a dozen best. There are plenty of good options.
The only thing I will personally never shoot again is mechanicals. I gave it a good try, I lost some deer and had some poor penetrations. I'm sure they work great for some guys, but I have had great luck with my plain-Jane Thunderheads so I see no reason to wring my hands trying to get mechanicals to work anymore.
