I often get asked which theme is the best to set as the parent, Blank or Luma, when it comes to creating a custom theme in Magento 2?

Well, there is not much difference except a few UI appearances on the Listing page, product detail page, cart page, checkout page.

A very good description has been provided by the BSS theme. Click here

Look at vendor/magento/theme-fronted-luma/web/css/source/_theme.less (line 19-20) and you will find:

@icons__font-path: '@{baseDir}fonts/Luma-Icons';
@icons__font-name: 'luma-icons';

inside vendor/magento/theme-fronted-luma/web you will also find the fonts dir. Try to copy the font dir in the appropriate dir inside your custom theme and change the 2 less variables.

Magento – Best way to create new Magento 2 theme based on Luma, which parent theme

Hello as per my experience. We're using Magento Blank as our parent theme.

We're using porto theme for magento 2. and this theme's parent is Magento Blank.

Here's a part code of the porto theme.xml

<parent>Magento/blank</parent>
<media>
    <preview_image>media/preview.png</preview_image>
</media>

I hope this helps you in choosing what to use as parent. but also you can use Luma as your parent theme. It's up to you.
