I was deported from Estonia which is a Schengen country. I was carrying police clearance certificate for some business related activities as I planned a tour in Europe, but I did not mention about my police clearance certificate & business related work which is very uncertain, in the cover letter. Previously I have also done the same thing when I had traveled to France year 2014, I had a 3 months multiple entry tourist visa. No problems happened. Because everyone knows there is no distinction between a Schengen tourist visa & a Schengen business visa as long as they are both for the short term stay only(type c). So, with the existing tourist visa I can attend business related activities(market serve/ meeting / commercial purchase).

In keeping above fact in mind , I want to apply for Schengen visa again:

What would be the easiest Schengen country?

The Schengen rules are relatively clear, apply to the country which is your main destination (or the first visit in the case of multi-entry visas). This could be either the country you will visit longest or the one in which the primary purpose of the visit occurs. Part of the intention of the unified visa policy is to ensure there is no "easiest country" and prevent the kind of "visa shopping" you propose. See for example this similar question.

Short stay visa statistics for 2017 are available here https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/sites/homeaffairs/files/what-we-do/policies/borders-and-visas/visa-policy/docs/2017-consulates-schengen-visa-stats.xlsx Five countries are listed as having refusal rates of around 1%, including Greece and Finland. Knowing this data won’t help you if you were banned and your details entered into SIS, of course.
