Best is relative. PrusaSlicer 2.3.0alpha3 includes a very good gcode viewer. ideaMaker also has a a good viewer. Simplify 3D has a basic one. Octoprint has a good viewer for layer-by-layer progress of a print in progress. There's always gcode.ws if you want to do more detailed analysis.

I want to see what the printed objects could look like. For example, how different options of seams could affect the looks of the printed objects.  

How come the viewer disappeared in 2.2.0?

I use S3D as an alternative:
