Implicit in your question is the assumption any one T-B-N contributor has in depth experience with multiple brands of quick hitch on just a Kubota 'B'. Unlikely. Instead you will get opinion.
Land Pride, sold by Kubota dealers, is 100% owned by Kubota. The appropriate model of Land Pride quick hitch attached to a Kubota 'B' is likely to be fully compatible with more implements than all or most other quick hitch brands, certainly 100% compatible with appropriate size Land Pride implements of similar vintage to the quick hitch.
If you are considering implements more than ten years old, when quick hitches began entering the mainstream of compact tractor attachments, not all vintage implements will necessarily fit a contemporary quick hitch without some modification. During ten years the standards for implement hitch points have evolved close to a common standard, at least among the major manufacturers.

You really need to define "Best".
Best for what other than a Kubota B?
My Pat's quick hitch was the best for my wallet and has fit my implements.

Despite much efforts to make all my implements, Quick Attach ready, I still struggled with alignment issues during the attachment process. Mainly the top link QA was always the hardest and problematic. Commonly the 10 to 15 minutes for making alignment and proper attachment was anything but fast and certainly stressful.
After fighting the standard QA each time for hookup, I have since purchased PATs Quick attach for just my two lower links, and also use the top link as normally designed. With PATs I am now at 1-3 minutes for changing to any of my 3pt attachments....with those requiring a PTO connection taking upto 3 minutes
Post hole diggers and stump grinders always take the longest to attach. Box Blade and Landscape Rakes are fastest.

The question is actually generic and depends on what attachments you have or hope to have. Since I have two Kubota "B" models, I have the LandPride QH on one and PAT's on the other. Some of my attachments were not designed to fit the LandPride QH, thus the PAT's comes in handy on those.

I have a Ford 4000,B2650,BX2370 tractors Speeco, Harbor Freight and Rural King quick hitches. Basically they are all the same. Now some QH's have smaller lift arm hooks and don't need the cat1 -> cat3 adaptor bushings.

A Quick Hitch (quick attach) is a "standard"..., A PAT'S is not (BUT not a negative), tractor type not relevant but category of 3PH is (0,1,2,3)... ... What implement's that will work a "Quick Hitch" is a crap shoot as there is so many pre QH implement designs out there and many manufactures are slow to change to QH standards....
Best option is if you decide to get QH is to get the one the "fits" your tractor and then adapt/modify all you implements to work with/be compatible with the QH.... Modify them once, be happy forever...

PTO powered implements, connected to the tractor with Pat's, often require a 4" extension added to the PTO shaft to connect to tractor PTO splines.

The quick attach adapters in your url appear to be for a front bucket or other implement. Unless you want to put a quick attach implement onto your three point you are probably seeking a quick hitch which is far less expensive than what you seem to be looking at. I use Pat's Quick Hitch on my three point as it can adjust for a wide variety of implement widths. i did get a new drive line for my mower as the original was too short. Actually it was too short for my last tractor, too, I just didn't know it. I also purchased a longer top link. With those two changes I'm quite happy with Pat's.
