I'd say install a couple, play around with them and see which one you like best. There is no "best overall" skin - it's a personal choice which interface, color-scheme, etc. you like best.

Where are "most downloaded", "best rated"?
Not all of the skins are currently migrated and compatible with the latest stable Kodi release (v14). Remember that each skin is developed by talented design volunteers, so as time moves on, more skins will become compatible and added to the official Kodi repo. I don't think there are official download numbers or top-ratings for each skin publicly available (at least I haven't seen it myself)...
Hope this helps!
