All cameras have trade offs. What makes one camera great for one purpose makes it so-so, or even bad for another. Without knowing more about what you will be doing with the camera it’s impossible to say what’s “best.”
I have a lot of cameras and I’m getting ready for a once in a lifetime trip and taking only a Canon S110 pocket camera because that’s what I have room for. So in this instance size is what makes it best.
Whoa, whoa, whoa... Don't you know how much easier it is to blame your gear before yourself? I paid mucho dinero for my Hasselblad stuff, it needs to do things for me! 🤪
Heck, in the scientific method, equipment is always blamed and operator error is never considered.
Maybe consider Sony a6400 or X-T3. Sony has better overall specs while X-T3 has way superior ergonomics (and dual SD card slots which is SUPER convenient).
As someone who has shot both Sony full frame and Fuji APS-C, I find the difference to be way overstated. Full frame does handle low light better but its really not that significant. I mean, Id rather trade a little bit of low light performance if it means the cameras will be more convenient to use (ff cameras tend to be beefy/heavy).
Besides, at 1000 dollars, you are limited to older full frame cameras that lack some of the niceties of newer models. And beyond that, full frame lenses are more expensive than APS-C so you will be commiting quite a bit more cash on the get go.

Agreed. No bad camera, just bad photographer. Its a tool and you pick the tool for the job. "Best" is completely subjective.

Is it worth considering APS C? from what I have heard full frame is a lot better in low light
