Don't know if it's the best, but I've used PHP Shop with great results. http://www.phpshop.org

It's all PHP/MySQL based, uses a fully configurable template system, and it's free. I actually haven't tried any others, I picked PHP Shop because it was recommended to me and I've been happy with it.

I'm a bit partial to phpshop, so I'll skip the sales pitch. It depends on what you're looking for in a cart.

eg: Point-click-boom, cart in a box. (Miva)

I've never used OSC/TEP, but from what I've been told, people have found it more of a pain (vs phpshop) when they really wanted to modify/rip it apart. Something along the lines of "every OSC cart looks damn near the same".

Although it does seem that OSC team/community is more organized and active.
