You cannot say before of all - two prepositions here do not make sense. You need best because this is the superlative form meaning the most favourite.

Why I can't say," next of all" you said the sentence is the superlative form, But how can I to know it, there have not " the" to show it. What's wrong if I choose next of all? Could you explain more for me?Thank You.
