A simple way to choose the best ESC to your drone is, choose the motor and battery before ESC.
ESC meaning is Electronic speed Controller and simply I can say this is the device that controls your drone’s motor speed.
Check motor thrust data tables and find out how much current that your motor gets when its max thrust.
Be sure your amp rate is 30% greater than that number. Also, choose the best ESC that supports your lipo batteries, cell count.

This is like the brain of the esc.This chip taking commands from Flight controller and giving it to voltage control chips in back side.
B-DC Power input
These two cables should connect to your battery.This is the power input of the ESC.
C-Servo connector pin
This connector should be connected to flight controllers Motor signal pins.
If you want, you can use the other 5v with a ground pin to power up your receiver or something.
D-Voltage regulators
As I mentioned earlier these small chips taking command from central processing chip and regulate motor speed.
E-Motor power output
These are the motor output cables. You can easily connect these cables to your brushless motor. You can change the motor rotating direction easily by changing these pins.
