In Far Cry 6 Amigos are introduced instead of the 'Guns for Hire' of previous Far Cry games. Amigos are animal companions that you can unlock that will assist you during combat. This Amigos Guide will tell you everything you need to know about them.
In total there are seven Amigos which you can unlock, five of these (Guapo, Chorizo, Chicharron, Boom Boom, and Oluso) can be otained during the campaign while the other two (K9000 and Champagne) are only accessible through the Blood Dragon and Vice Pack sets respectively. Each of the Amigos comes with three unique abilities which are locked at the start of the game, in order to find out what these abilities are and how to unlock them you need to go open the 'Amigo' screen and select the Amigo from the list. This will bring up the Amigo's abilities list, where you can highlight each of them individually to find out what the requirement is to unlock that specific ability.

There is no best Amigo in Far Cry 6, each of them have useful skills and benefits that will help you in some way, so it really depends on your situation. If your situation called for stealth and resource gathering, then Chorizon is probably your best option. If you need an Amigo with combat prowess then Oluso is without doubt the best, the downside though is that Oluso is also the hardest Amigo to unlock.
