Well you can't get direct answer for
best open-source controller
as it depends on requirement and other factor.
I am not an expert when it comes to SDN but I have worked with SDN controllers like Floodlight, opendaylight along with Mininet.
We used Floodlight(FLC) as Controller and Mininet as provider for virtual Hosts, switches in FLC.
So technically mininet is not an SDN controller.
Mininet:
Mininet is a network emulator which creates a network of virtual hosts, switches, controllers, and links.
Mininet hosts run standard Linux network software, and its switches support OpenFlow for highly flexible custom routing and Software-Defined Networking.
