First thing is to go and read some of the papers about what FXS and FXO mean.

To connect to a telco line you need a adapter with a FXO port. This pretty much converts from the signalling used by a analog port to VoIP. Then if your goal is to use a hardware analog phone on the other end you need a FXS port. Now you can also use VoIP hard phones and Pc based VoIP software phones.

What exactly you need to support will determine which equipment you need. Very simple FXO devices require you have some form of VoIP switch/call manage where some of the more advanced one will provide the ability to forward calls to VoIP devices with nothing else.

Really any of the free VoIP clients should work. Best bet is to find a FXO device you like and then see which is compatible. Outgoing calls is easy it is the incoming ones that get to be a challenge. You should be able to tell the FXO device to route all calls to your PC ip.

It is still a matter of searching for FXO gateways and finding one you like. It is mostly do you want a very simple one that you really have to know what you are doing to make it work with a PC VoIP software or do you want one that has PC software clients included and being sold as a package.

You will likely find very little difference in FXO devices when it comes to how they actually work since that is pretty standard it is mostly the user interface.

"Best" is very subjective and why I have been avoiding any particular recommendations. Things like do you want a web interface to configure them or can you get by with a unit that needs a serial console to configure it. Functionally most unit are identical as far as the calling goes.

You will need no subscription for most devices if you stay with simple gateways. Of course you must pay for the land line which I consider outrageously expensive compared to paying for a VoIP line over the internet.
