Just don't use speakers below 3 ohm or they could overheat the headunit.

You need to use a better description of what you want to achieve.
The terms Good or Best are relative
You arent asking the right question, and your budget will be your biggest limiting factor.

For example i think the stock speakers are good and loud..but thats just me.

^ This.

I have a set of Pioneer TS-D1602R speakers (note: you need to modify the door and create adapter mounts- not for the feint of heart). They sound good to me. Many would think they sound amazing (a friend of mine was blown away and wanted to hear her favorite songs on them). Others would think they are trash. I am good with them- they are very clear and are great for electronic music, country, rap, classic rock, pink floyd, 90s alternative, etc. They cost 75 shipped and rock for that price. Their only so-so state is metal- they just dont have the distorted crunch I would like. My doors are sealed, dynamatted, memory-foamed, etc- its the speaker.

I plan to replace them eventually with some HAT Imagines- these are known for being great midbass and metal speakers (paper cone).

There are so many different approaches to speaker tech and so many different tastes, what sounds great to one person might not to the next. You will have to test or take your chances. It might help to tell us what you look for in your music, what you listen to artist wise, etc.
