What is the best indicator for titration?

Question: What is the best indicator for titration?
Answer: That all depends on what you are titrating!

If you doing an acid-base titration, then you will need to know the relative strengths of the acid and base you going to be using.
Once you have determined an approximate pH for the equivalence point of the neutralisation reaction, you use this as the pH of the endpoint of the titration in order to determine the best acid-base indicator to use.
