Why taking?: In the absence of known deficiency, multivitamins are unnecessary. Common deficiencies are vitanin d in people who don't get much sun exposure and vitamin B12 in vegans who don't supplement. Multivitamins are now increasingly seen as unhealthy if not needed. Check with doctor before taking any and always check label to make sure you know what you are taking. Do not take above 100% of rda.

Many good choices: Multivitamins have many proven benefits. There's no one best brand but some are much better than others.Here's independent ratings of 101 brands: http://www.multivitaminguide.org/ Any of the top 30 on that list are good. My personal favorites include Ultranutrient from Pure Encapsulations (not on that list!), Ultrapreventive X, Life Force Multiple and Life Extension Mix.
