Best is subjective, does it work the best? IMO yes, it's the best tool,
but keep in mind, this makes your script less portable, not all hosts
will allow you to run the 'convert' binary, nor will all installations
have it readily available (Windows doesn't come with ImageMagick by
default). It works the best for the applications I've written so far,
but the PHP gd functions are just as powerful and probably more
portable.. so without knowing all your requirements, it's hard to give a
definitive answer :).
