I can't stand "Best" as a closer. "Best wishes" is OK, as is "Best regards" but "Best" on its own is going to get your email into the "deal with it later" queue.

"Best" is standard practice with Germans, and shows a degree of intimacy-- implying the two parties know each other well enough that an abbreviation is fine.

Given my interactions, I'd be cautious dead-queueing an email on this criteria.
