Can the experts please talk about the most suitable antibiotics for utis?

Depends: The best antibiotic is the narrowest spectrum, lowest side effect and least expensive drug that kills the bacteria causing the infection. A urine culture and sensitivity are nessesary to determine the proper antibiotic.
