It would depend completely on your budget and desires. Some are just basic and some are so complex they'll cook breakfast in bed while they're vacuuming.

Of course, that comes with trade-offs. Large aperture scopes are harder to tote around, for example.

The further it reaches the closer it will be to far away objects. A real LOOOOONG telescope.

It really depends on what you want to concentrate on. If it's Planets then a Refracting Telescope. If it's diffuse Deep Sky Objects then a Newtonian. For an 'all round' performance you might want a hybrid like a Cassegrain. There is no best telescope. It really depends on what you want to concentrate on.

But to see the farthest objects, aperture is the key: the larger the telescope's aperture, the farther you'll be able to see. The farthest object i've seen myself is the quasar 3C273, which is 3 billion light years away. I saw it in my 10-inch Newtonian reflector. It looked like a very faint 12th magnitude star.
