I won't say which one is the best, but I can say which one is the worst, without comparison: The ASDG EB920. It is not only a bad ethernet card, it even makes the machine unstable.

The best network card for Amigas is an rtl_8139D plugged into a Zorro->PCI  bridgeboard

Doesn't the RTL8139 steal lots and lots of CPU cycles?
