I am having an Unofficial tournament at my house and there are a bunch of people coming who have no clue how to play Redemtion and i bought 2 E & F decks and 2 G & H decks i was wondering is there a "best" starter deck or are they pretty even? things i have already noticed are

E:
Really strong banding abilities
lots of extra card drawing abilities
N.T. angels
O.T. humans

F:
strong banding abilities
anti-banding
anti-draw

G:
hand increase artifact
has some really good characters (especially on defense)  -  "The Guardian"
Moses (all  special abilities are negated)                  -              "JSB23"
Red Dragon (immune to humans)                      -                      "JSB23"

H:
has lots of battle winners (especially on offense)           -      "The Guardian"

is there a "best"

if not what are they all good at

which one can be the best?

G&H definitely or maybe C&D but good luck finding those

E,F,G and H are fairly even. I have always felt H was the most powerful for beginners, but the player's smart choices can make any of them formidable.

I've played in tournaments where C&D, E&F and G&H were all played and have seen C&D decks win. It made for alot more diversity which can up the fun factor. For unofficial play use them all and have fun.

I would have to check the individual cards to be sure, but I seem to recall that H has the most battle winners.

It really depends on what you are using them for. For sealed G seems to dominate turnies. I've never seena  C/d deck vs a g/h. I prefer G for a few reasons.
A: I do well with green offenses.
B: Alot of sneaky cards
C: Moses+meeting in the wilderness
