There is not a "best" IP series. Internally you can use pretty much anything you want. Most people use:

10.0.x.x (subnet 255.255.0.0) for class B addresses
or
192.168.0.x (subnet 255.255.255.0) for class C addresses.

If you need more than 250+ addressses (don't forget to include printers, switches, routers, hubs etc when you do your sums) use the Class B address. Less than that number the class C will be fine

These addresses were reserved for this purpose and are non-routable for the Internet.

Just FYI...the IP series of 172.0.0.x is also reserved for internal networking, although isn't used quite as often as the others.

Yes, these are the correct ones.

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) Class A
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) Class B
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) Class C


What was said above is mostly correct.
