I don't know if I'd say it's "the best", but the online reference I use most often is the Apache C++ Standard Library Reference Guide. Maybe people use SGI's Standard Template Library Programmer's Guide.

Update:

These days, I mostly use cppreference.com.

Along with a copy of the standard, I use cplusplus.com, mostly because it is the first result when I google std::vector.
