From what I see it looks like your machine already comes with USB CNC xPro V3 Controller....
But what's the "best" might depend on what your cutting and how robust you want to be..

This is what you have and you only have one choice GRBL. Good luck. I had a GRBL based laser and was not impressed in the least.

The CNC xPRO V3 Controller is an all-in-one multi axis CNC controller. It is a specifically designed for CNC applications and pre-loaded with the latest stable version of GRBL. The CNC xPRO is equipped with 4 DRV8825 motor drivers; allowing for dual motor configurations on the X,Y, or Z axis. The CNC xPRO is printed on 2oz copper to handle heavy current and improve thermal management of the motor drivers.
