that really depends.

if you want to actually invest (beacuse you have daily video
conferences and whatot), i dont think there is anything better than the
logitech BRIO currently. it allows zooming/resolution changes,
focus/aperture adjustments, can go up to 4k and comes with a builtin
stereo mic ... 

...but it has its price ...

beyond that i guess any 720p and upwards USB camera is just fine, the
majority of them should be supported by the uvcvideo driver and should
just work OOTB.

... and if you want something really exotic:
