Ancestry, 23me, FTDNA.

Ancestry now has the largest DNA data base in the world so you
will get more matches and more exact percentages of ethnicities.

If you are looking for NA DNA, 23me used to be the best for picking that up.

They will be running Christmas sales soon so you can get a kit for a
good price.

Ancestry does autosomal DNA testing.
If you want YDNA you have to go to FTDNA.
I am not sure if 23me is still doing YDNA.
But FTDNA is the best for YDNA.
Ancestry for autosomal.
