For genetical admixture and haplogroups the best is Family Tree DNA. www.familytreedna.com (also known as FTDNA).

After you do FTDNA, download your "raw data file" and upload it to IllustrativeDNA for the best in closest ancient and modern populations. www.illustrativedna.com

It doesn't matter which commercial DNA test you choose. When you convert the raw data to gedmatch (which is free), the results will look the same regardless of which commercial test you did. Gedmatch is the real deal. For Europeans, Eurogenes k13 and k15 are good (and free) calculators on gedmatch I think.

Back in the day, I chose MyHeritage because it was the cheapest and I only cared about getting the raw data for Gedmatch.
