When you say the best, that's not really saying much because you haven't stated your budget. You could pay as low as three figures for a cutter and as high as five figures. So therefore, the best at what budget.

Also, remember if you are making this a business, you should go for quality equipment.

Just my 3 cents lol. ( I know it's 2)

well as of right now i have a roland versacamm sp-300v in mind, and i know i can use it as a cutter. also i can print on it, but i was just wondering what the quality of the vinyl that can be printed on. please excuse my lack of knowledge on this whole subject. i dont really know the proper terms for all this.

I don't know what you mean about the quality of the vinyl? With a versacamm you can (if it's big enough) print car wraps, or labels, or decals, or I think maybe even vinyl for clothing. As far as cutting vinyl for clothing is concerned the versacamm is overkill. You just need a cutter/plotter like the Graphtec CD5000-60 or the Roland gx-24. Both of which are under $2,000 new. You will also need a heat press and vector software like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw.
