For this informations is good Coinmarketcap website and look at the field ROI, it shows how much early investors earned when they bought it at the beginning.
Ethereum more than a 9000% return.
XRP more than a 5000% return.
Litecoin more than a 1000% return.
Monero more than a 3000% return.
So the best one is of course Ethereum

.
The best one still bitcoin

The next coin will be ethereum. The next will be an unpredicted coin, which can be the number third because I think the next bull run will make many coins compete with each other to lift the price. Maybe we will see a new list on the coinmarketcap and coingecko, and maybe some of the old coins will go down in the positions.
