I thought you made list of the best POW/POS coin in this thread 
For me, the best newcomer coin is the coin that have fair mainnet launch (announce to community),
and have little or no premine for their developers, this is to prevent dump later if the coin price growing.

ETH had a huge premine, and it is only next to Bitcoin in marketcap now. Premine does not equate to shitcoin or scam.
