Yes. And a number of others, too.
The "best bonsai tree" is the one you like working with the best. But I suspect most of us like working with a number of different kinds of trees, so there may not be a single "best" for most of us.

"...maples...Black pines...Elms...Junipers...Redwood...Apple...Thuja. .."
Your choice...a matter of personal taste... Best for what? A beginner? To show? Ease of growing? Pat

yeah personal taste
i dont like the ficus cause of that white crap....and the leaves dont look good to me.... i like junipers and cedars...and the hornbeam. so there isnt a "best" and theres a personal taste for styling too.... like, personally......absoloutly.....hate.......and i mean HATE......the cascade look.... but you know....some people like it. i peronsally like the real thick aged & straight look.... with lots of taper. some people might think thats a boring style......
