Is there a best format for a map mesh, will collada work fine?

It's always worth trying a few formats. I haven't had too good experiences with collada and Irrlicht so far. But that stuff always depends on the features you need. So export an example which contains all the features you will need (with/without alpha materials, singletexture/multitexture, any other material properties, static/animated, amount of polygons, etc) in as many of the formats supported by Irrlicht as you can and then check them in meshviewer.

I usually use several formats per project (including an own extension) as no single format happens to cover everything.

I just can't find any other format that does animation from Maya or Max.

For animations from maya we do use a .x exporter.
