I recently had to go back to MacOS Monterey as the apple support helpline suggested the update to Sonoma was not the best for Lightroom. I realise now he was checking lightroom and niot lightroom classic. 

 

So which is the best OS for lightroom classic at the moment. I know it will work with Sonoma, but is this the ideal OS.

I'm not sure why you felt it necessary to go back to Monterey, as far as I know there are no specific Lightroom or Lightroom Classic issues at all with Ventura (which I'm currently using without any problems), and even with Sonoma there seem to be only some peripheral and driver updates needed. See this blog post from the Lightroom Queeen: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/lightroom-macos-sonoma-compatibility/

I was interested to see a reply to this one as I'm concerned about upgrading from my trouble free yet old system. What happened?

Nothing yet I'm afraid @Seaquence. I quite like Sonoma and definitely want to get back to some of the features in Ventura
