I guess it all depends on what you consider 'Best'. Right then, If you like the 'flashy-new money' type of neighborhoods, go far and beyond Tampa and look into gated communities, they're everywhere. Downside, nothing but National Chains and generic housing.Have to drive everywhere-no walking to the local pub, grocerystore, icecream parlor, etc. Upside:You can 'be comfortable in a place where everyone is like you'(if you consider that an upside) Kids can ride their bikes, etc. without 'city' traffic.
If you prefer true neighborhoods,like to eat and shop at independently owned businesses,(kids and adults alike) I'd look into South Tampa which consists of Hyde Park, Bayshore area. These places have both historic Florida homes, updated Florida home, as well as some areas with newer 'communities'. Bayshore Blvd. access is a plus-the longest un-broken sidewalk running along Bayshore Blvd. Loads of independent mixed with some of the 'better' national chains, but you'll have the choice. Great public and private schools.
P.S. If you are not sure about 'gated communities' beware of the 'safe & secure' pitch. I've lived in both, and find no difference.

Carrollwood and Citrus Park. Fairly close together. I lived in Carrollwood for years, then moved to Citrus Park.

Westchase would be my choice if you are looking for a self contained neighborhood that has restaurants, schools, and easy access to most parts of Tampa and Pinellas. Not gated for the most part, but lots of younger families with kids.
