They are all measurements of some characteristic.
You can invent any number of nonstandard units, but none of them is "best". It is best to use standard units, that is, the meter.
A non-standard unit of measurement is a way of reporting measurements in terms of units whose value only a few people may know. Many of the early, non-standard units of measurement, which were based on the human body, were like that. Everybody does not have the same span so saying that a table is 12 spans long is not particularly helpful. Some of these were ;ater standardised: palm = 3 inches, hand = 4 inches (10.16 cm) and so on.
The standard unit of length is the meter, and any multiple and submultiple such as kilometer and millimeter. Nonstandard units include foot, inch, mile, light-year, parsec, astronomical unit.

Standard units are common units that can be re-measured easily. Examples: meters, miles, grams, seconds, etc. Non standard units are more so things than units that can't be measured as easily. Example: 13 pieces of gum in length. Surely you could lay out 13 pieces of gum, but gum varies in size which makes it more difficult to use as an accurate measurement.

Units of measurement provide a standard to measure mass, length etc.So, it is useful.

if you measure a crayon with inches is not the same as measuring with feet.

As I remember from grade school back in the 1960's I believe it was called: "Units and Standards" We refer to the U.S. measurement system today as the "Standard Measurement," "US Standard," "English Units," "US Customary Units," and "Imperial Units."

A standard unit of measurement is the unit (size or quantity) that is agreed upon in that nation or trading partnership. In science the standard units of measurement are called SI units. (An international standard). This is the metric system.
The prefix for standard is "non-" as in "nonstandard."
