In this particular case 'it's' can also be possessive although it's considered non-standard, so to be correct you can always treat it like a contraction of 'it is'.

That would be contracting "its is"?

The ambiguity makes it hard for me to say. "It's the best" vs "its is the best"

It doesn't feel right dropping the is
