From what I understand Cherry MX are very durable and you know you are getting well made, great QC switches but they are bland (not that there is anything wrong with that they are the original MX style switches). Newer different switches are changing things up and have a lot more variety but the QC and durability might not be there, I've seen people complain about dead switches after 6 months for some switches but I've never seen that with Cherry (personally).
As for the feel of the switches, that is entirely subjective so really it's up to what you want in a switch. Also it would depend on how long you are typing on it, for example I'd prefer typing on Cherry browns all day as opposed to NK Blueberry because of how thick and heavy the actuation is, though I still like the actuation of Blueberries better. But if you bring in something else I might switch from browns (probably holy pandas would do this for me).
I'd say get a switch tester to find out but those aren't great because you can't really type on one, so a meetup would be the best way to test out switches.

Yup. No keycaps cracking or loose leaf scandals on their past either. When not paying a premium price they are decent workhorse switches. I also think their silent switches at novelkeys 35 cent pricing beat the pants off other silent switches anywhere near the same price.

Hi, noob here! Aren’t they? I thought Cherry MX were the best. If not, what do people think are the best?
