Wood. Very easy to use and shape on both big scale and small.

Brick is generally best material for the house. It makes strong home, resistant to any kind of weather and if walls are made of brick you might not need AC in the summer. Concrete with armature allows for thinner walls but then it becomes more weather dependent. It will get either too cold or too hot. Also, concrete doesn’t like salt, so if you live near see shore, stay away from that. Metal is only the frame. You don’t want to be in the metal can.
Wood can be easy blown by small tornado and generally is weak construction and requires a lot of heating and AC to keep you comfortable. Log house is different story. But again, carpenter ants, mice, all chew on wood.
Brick is the choice! Remember 3 little pigs?

it depends on the environment you are building the home in.
i have heard of many different materials, adobe being one of the preferred materials.
i also read an article on a concrete and styrofoam insulating mix that was used in a pre-formed dome shell to make a two story concrete dome with excellent insulating properties. (in HomePower magazine)
look up HomePower.com and check them out. they even had a straw bale construction that was exceptional in it’s insulating qualities.
i think the articles are archived, and you can look them up on line.

There is no one best, if that were true, all the houses would be built that way.
There are many factors.
cost
weather
local zoning laws
maintainability
size
number of stories
location
earthquake requirements
neighbors
and probably a few more I can’t think of.
you have to consider each factor, and give it a weighing factor, before you can pick one.
