I worked on my app with RESTful access its very easy and efficient. But in my case i was working with JCR and sling. You don't need to know java to use this.

"best" is highly subjective. I personally would recommend learning Java, since the SDKs and all the example code are written in it. Also, with Cordova, you are writing javascript anyway, so why not just make the leap to Java.

Here is a tutorial with PHP, MySQL and Java Android app connecting to it:
