You are one of the best person I have ever met in my life vs You are one of the best persons I have ever met in my life

"Persons" is only used in very specific situations, like some legal documents. "You are one of the best people I have ever met in my life" is the correct way to write this compliment.

You are one of the best person I have ever met in my life

This phrase is not correct. Don't use it.

You've met more than one person in your life, so you need to use the plural form of "person."

Most English nouns are made plural by adding "-s" or "-es," but "person" doesn't follow that rule.

The plural form of "person" is "people."
