Is a DE filter better than a sand or cartridge filter?

They do require more maintenance.  So if by best, you mean easiest to maintain, then we recommend a sand filter.  Cartridge filters are usually recommended when the customer has no place to backwash.  Because some areas have hard water, not backwashing old water out leads to needing to drain pools more frequently.
