i don'treally feel like there's a difference,
but when i was writing to a contact from a company that i didn't really know yet, i put yours sincerly.
but when i started working there, we all send emails with Kind regards (or just regards),
and i see best regards when we are signing birthday cards or "congrats on your wedding cards" it's like you are congratulating someone or saying good luck.

Hi Lara,
There isn't much difference between "best regards" and "kind regards," or even just "regards." They would all be appropriate for a cover letter. "Yours sincerely" is different in that it is a little more personal. I would not use it to sign off a cover letter. Signing off with some form of "regards" is professionally appropriate, but is also distant and impersonal. Just "sincerely" alone might also be fine.
