The best AMD motherboards right now are ones based on the company's X570 and B550 chipsets. They are the latest and greatest with features like PCI Express 4.0 support, and are ready for AMD's new Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. Some of the older motherboards can play nice with a Ryzen 5000 series CPU as well (with a BIOS update), so you don't necessarily have to limit yourself to X570 or B550, depending on the features you want, but you might as well go for the newest if you're upgrading or building from scratch.
