On a serious note, there is no best line.

The lines more frequently played by GMs are better than the less-trafficked lines, but each has its pluses and minuses.

think if they go for an open Sicilian you can pretty much choose whatever line as black. Just know how to play against the closed Sicilian(2. Nc3) and the Alapin(2. c3).

Although I'm 1100 so I probably shouldn't be giving advice
