Your opponent does not exist, -1 move checkmate.

I like double mates where two pieces are checking the enemy king simultaneously and your opponent can't defend both.

i like it best when he checkmates himself without me doing anything. checkmate in half a move

duhh - the best kind of checkmate is the one that wins you the game you are currently playing

The best checkmate is the one where you have only a knight and the opponent has only a bishop.

There isn't really a best type of checkmate, but my personal favourite is a back rank checkmate where the king is hidden behind a bunch of pawns and you just move a rook or queen up and he is a goner.
