For general purposes that’s likely true, but “best” like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. There may be times when you want to go to ISO 3200 when some loss in dynamic range is tolerable.
Within either 400/3200 range, the allocation of stops above/below middle grey varies and you my find you prefer shooting at ISO 200 or ISO 1600 for example. Depends upon the subject as well as your intentions which you prefer. No “best” solution as you find what you prefer I suspect. I recommend one start with ISO 400 and 3200 to get a good understanding of the sensor and grain, but it won’t be long before you try other values.
Lots of positive comments about ISO 1250 and negative comments about ISO 1000. Personally I don’t expect I would exceed ISO 6400 except to test. Then again remember the clips shot with the recent Supermoon...
