That kinda depends on your practice setting and what your organization provides you for free. Micromedex, Lexi, and Clinical Pharmacology are all nice. But most of us don’t want to pay out of pocket for them.

Micromedex does have a free app version (although, I think there might be a fee now 3-4$ or so), but does NOT include interactions display in the drug info.
Lexicomp & Micromedex (& I am sure many other databases) have almost verbatim sections on side effect info (even ADR%s) with maybe a few minor word changes (thesaurus). Lexicomp & Clinical Pharmacology both (not free) have good, detailed drug interaction sections with scored severity ratings & management as well as data that goes along with the interaction in question.
I can not say there is a single "best" because like others have mentioned, it depends on your work setting. Although I would steer clear of Epocrates for drug info simply because it is pretty bad at omitting information & lacks detail vs. other databases for drugs at least (although the drug info part is free).
