While some other units can do similar things (class changing to be able to use a different weapon type), only Donnel has the ability to do it without utterly butchering his overall experience growth rate (each time a unit class changes, half of their levels are added behind the scenes to their actual level, making it harder and harder to level up with each subsequent class change), thanks to the fact that Villager is on its own tier for experience penalties (I believe each level of Villager only counts as a half effective level for purposes of calculating experience penalties). This allows you the flexibility of an extra sword-using unit or an extra axe-using unit, all dependent on your army's needs.
Donnel can use a Second Seal to promote into either a Mercenary or a Fighter. It's not uncommon to see a Level 1 Mercenary or Fighter Donnel with double-digit stats (with the exceptions of Magic and Resistance usually). The only drawback is that Villager has low stat caps, so you'll probably want to use a Second Seal on Donnel at Level 15 (once he gets the Underdog skill) instead of waiting till level cap. Additionally, Villager is a 30 level class, due to its standing as a Special Class (just like Taguels and Manaketes among certain others). For purposes of promotion (and class changing), Villager is considered as a Tier 0 class. See, unlike literally every other recruitable unit in Fire Emblem: Awakening, Donnel starts as a Villager. If you want more detailed information, don't hesitate to check out the rest of my Fire Emblem: Awakening articles, also hosted on this very site. As compared to my individual unit hubs, this particular hub is going to gloss over a lot of things for the units I choose to put in the list. So, just because I mention unit X first doesn't necessarily mean that I consider them the best unit of all. 
This list is brought to you in no particular order. If you have just started playing Fire Emblem: Awakening, I recommend you wait until a later time to read this article. Additionally, as this list will cover units attained all over the game, it's safe to assume that it will have spoilers. 
So, if you disagree with some of my personal choices, keep that in mind. In this case, while some of the best units of Fire Emblem: Awakening are clear and cut, others are not so much.
"Best of" lists are typically opinionated. 
Before you keep reading, here are some things to keep in mind:
