	Basically, Object is the class all your classes should be deriving 
from (when you do that, you're using "new-style classes"). It's the 
root in the class hierarchy of Python. This gives you access to a lot 
of nifty features for free, such as properties.

	Oh, and the best classes are those you create yourself, of course :D
