Best ratio?

It depends on how you intend to vape your juice. Are you using cartos, tanks, clearomizers, etc.? Also, there is personal preference involved. Some people are sensitive to PG, so they vape 100% VG juice. VG is much thicker and produces more vapor. PG is thin and enhances flavor and, to an extent, throat hit. I prefer my juices to be between 60/40 and 70/30 (pg/vg) as I use cartomizers exclusively, and that mix gives me the right consistency, flavor, and vapor production.
It looks as if Madvapes has 100% VG juice or 75pg/25vg.

I use cartomizers, I plan to use a tank with my Provari. I experienced much flooding with the tank on my Ego and I'm looking forward to a hassle-free vaping experience with my Provari.
I would recommend juices that are 50% PG or higher, assuming you don't have any sensitivities to PG.
I would try 80% pg or 70% pg.
Differences:
PG is thin. VG is very thick
PG will allow more throat hit from available nicotine. VG will mute the throat hit to a degree.
VG will mute the flavorings to a degree. VG has some built in sweetness to it.
VG may cause atomizers to gunk up more and shorten the life.
VG is harder to wick.
VG is harder to work with. Example: Cartomizer type tanks you need more holes or slots cut in the cartomizer to get the thick VG liquid to seep into the cartomizer.
Some people have allergies to PG
Too much PG can cause some throat irritation.
VG produces more clouds of vapor.

The best ratio, of course, is the one that you like best.
Check out this poll...

I used to have dry throat and had to clear my throat alot with 80% pg. I found that I didn't drip enough water because the pg will dry you out. Drinking much more water totally cleared it up for me.
70% PG to 30% VG is a generally good ratio to start with unless you have issues with PG.
I prefer 50/50 myself but will happily take 70/30. Anything more than 50% VG tends to start giving me problems with Carts and Clearos like poor wicking and dry hits.

If im not mistaken the american brand of juice Madvapes sells in VG based. The China juice is pg based. I use 808d cartos mostly so I like to use the 80/20 pg vg ratio. I use mostly light colored juices so at 80/20 I get a pretty good carto lifespan.
I use mostly a 70/30 ratio. Don't have any problems with Boge's in tanks with this ratio.
From a quick look at their website (so I could be wrong), I don't see where madvapes tells you EXACTLY what ratio they use. I'd suggest you find another vendor that does. Like maybe these places. Disclaimer: I've not ordered juice from vendors as I make my own, but I've heard these are good vendors...

Indusrty standards are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG. I vape 60/ 40.
PG enhances TH, Lung Hit and flavor- waterlike
VG= Vapor- thick
Nic+ TH and our need for nicotine.

I have found the 70pg/30vg ratio to work best for me, when I go any lower my cartomizers get gunked up and don't last as long. The 100% pg feels way too harsh in my opinion.
