I assume you are wanting to know about Boge cartomizers. These are what I use primarily:
For my 5V PV, I use 3.0-3.4 ohm cartos.
For my eGo, regular 510 batts (both ~3.2V under load), or my 3.7V box mod, I use 2.4 ohm cartos. Higher than that is too weak for me (although some love 3.0 ohm cartos on true 3.7V). Lower resistance than this is a bit too hot for me, even though the resistance is about the same as a regular 510 atty, they are a stronger vape to me. Unfortunately I am only seeing Boge LR cartos sold in the 1.8-2.2 ohm range. May well be perfect for some, but that is too low for regular batts. You don't want to go lower than about 2.2 ohms on a regular 3.2V-under-load 510 batt, as it will drain the batt too fast and could damage it. They are fine for larger batts of ~450 mAh or more, but the small original ones really take a beating from LR coils. That doesn't stop some from doing it, but this is the general word of caution for that combo.

There really is no best it is all very subjective to what each individual likes. I enjoy the 2ohm Boge carto from 3.7-4.2v then the 3ohm at 5-5.3v you would probably be best trying a couple different configurations to see what suites you best then buy a bigger amount once you have tried a few different set ups. The LR and 2ohm work well on an Ego Batt, if you have a mod that holds an 18650 Batt I suggest an AW IMR to run the LR and the 2ohm.
I don't like the true LR Boge cartos (1.5-1.8Ω) as they tend to burn easily.
I use 2.0Ω Boges on my eGos (3.2-3.4v).
I use the 2.5Ω Boge cartos on my eGos as well as on 3.7v with great success.
3.0Ω+ Boge cartos are best on 3.7v-4.5v.

Underlying Kurt's, mwa's, and Katya's comments is the principle of balancing atomizer/cartomizer resistance (ohms) and battery voltage – to achieve optimum watts (i.e., the power or intensity of the vape). The formula is Watts = Volts X Volts / Ohms ... but I just use this online utility to do the calculations for me. [Enter any two variables (e.g., volts and ohms) and it calculates the other two (e.g., watts and amps*).]
For more information on this volts/ohms/watts/amps stuff, as well as LR and HV attys/cartos, see this article.
* Amps (current) is what fries attys/cartos and the mosfet of fat batts. Try to keep them at or under ~1.5 amps; definitely under 2.0 amps.
Many vapers find that 6-8 watts is the "sweet-spot." Yours might be somewhat more or less.
