I was wondering what the best dashboard is as of now. I'm just a little confused on what one to get.

Try them all. You can install any of them as applications to be launched from your main dash.

Everyone will have their own opinion. The most popular are UnleashX, Avalaunch and Xbox Media Center (with Evox as a good old stand-by).

You'll enjoy learning and trying them out. An auto-installer can help you try them out if you're not familiar with FTPing yet.

No offense, this question just comes up several times a week (and usually turns into a fanboying contest). If you have specific questions about the functionality of a specific dash, check out the examples in their various forums, or allxboxskins.com for visual examples.

Disclaimer: My two cents are more than indicated by my sig, but you make your own choice.
