MATLAB: Which is the best neural network for classification problem

Deep Learning Toolboxneural networkocrtrn/val/tst tutorial

for 2-class classification problem, which is the best neural network, what transfer function to use and the number of desired number of neurons?

It depends.

However, in general, the default should be the standard classification version of the universal approximator. The MATLAB version is PATTERNNET.
