Hey Mben! "Best" is quite subjective. You will get probably 100 options from 10 people
I really like the Velocity and the Velocity Mini (I actually think I prefer the Mini). Huge build decks and deep juice wells. Great airflow as well. I personally use kanthal, some kanthal clapton wire, and I just received some SS clapton (haven't opened it yet.)
I like the Velocities because of the 4 holes on two posts. Makes setting dual coils MUCH easier for *ME*. I have a Stumpy as well, and it's kinda cool, but I like my Velocities better.
I'd like to get one of these velocities misself

Its got a visible well under the deck, so it's being called a tank.
not sure if the insulator is ceramic though.

This type of tank is commonly known as a Genesis style. They are coming back to popularity and work ok. They were famous for dry hits as the juice has so far to travel up to the coil. A better solution would be to just by the regular/mini velocity and look in to bottom feeding mods otherwise known as Squonking.
1. That's not exactly a genesis. A genesis is designed to use mesh wicks.
Wicked properly there arent any dry hits. Genesis are notoriously hard to master which is why they fell out of popularity.
2. That deck would IMHO work best with mesh or SS rope in the holes feeding a cotton or rayon wick.
3. For the OP, I'd suggest a regular RDA. The Velocity dripper is a nice atty.
I think the Velocity dripper is very nice. One of my favorites is the Mutation V4. That last one is really flexible and can be built a number of different ways. If you mod only does Ni or Ti in TC mode, that's all you can use in TC. However, you can use Kanthal, Nichrome and Stainless in wattage mode.
A bit on the obscure side, but I recently picked up a UD IMP dripper and I have to say; it's pretty nice.
I don't know how large a velocity deck is, but UD builds dripper decks like dinner plates... nice and large.
For being cheap it is very well built and the mid / top caps are crazy heavy and thick. It has a crazy rifled chuff cap but also comes with a separate top cap to use a 510 drip tip if you like.
I have always been a fan of the UD products and I'm glad I picked this dripper up. Not as fancy as some of the other suggestions (3-post design and all) but maybe worth a look?

As long as your mod can handle the different wire types, shouldn't matter what you use
If you're a cloud chaser Velocity is a good one.
If you're a flavor chaser i recommend a freakshow Mini, Darang, or stumpy.
Coil material i like Kanthal but i have five hundred feet of the stuff.
Several people have reported tge flavor is cleaner from Stainless Steel coil(s).
You didn't ask about wicking material. I HIGHLY recommend Dacron. Lasts much longer than cotton, and tastes much better too.
I got 500 feet of the stuff at Sally's beauty supply for $15. Some say they got a 10 foot starter supply at Sally's for $1.99. My Sally's only had the 500 foot box so i have enough for 4 lifetimes.

Try looking at this one.

There is a positive post pin made for it, which facilitates bottom feeding. This is used if your doing squonking.
Will be getting into squonking here in a week or so, myself. Seems to be an excellent way to vape.
Under 40 watts the Tugboat V2 is great choice for vapor and flavor.
Up to 80 watts the Haze Mini does the same.
For 70 watts and up, the Kennedy is great choice for the same reasons.
If you intend on using the full 200 watts, a trash can with some holes in it, some asbestos lungs and a fire extinguisher would be the way to go.

I found them easy to master but their leaking made them unpractical for every day use.
Tightly rolled wicks help with leaking but yeah, in the heat where I live, they will sometimes leak if left lying on it's side, unattended for a few hours.
But not as bad as a TFV4.
I got a Tobeco Velocity clone for $15 and still to date the best money I have spent on vaping. It might not be the best flavor or best clouds, but it does really well at both and it's VERY easy to build on.
I am waiting on the GeekVape Tsunami pre-order to start shipping, and if it stands up to the hype from early reviews, it may just take the place of my velocity as my daily RDA.
I personally love Rayon for wicking. If you decide to try it, you can get some online or like Two-Bears said, Sally's Beauty Supply, although the 10 ft packages they sell are cotton and not rayon. They don't sell the 40 ft Box of it that Graham makes, so 500ft is the smallest amount I think you can buy at their stores.

@Two_Bears Also, is Dacron the same as Rayon? My quick googling shows Dacron as a synthetic polyester:
Dacron
A trademark for a synthetic polyester fabric or the fiber from which it is made
Sorry to the OP for going slightly off topic

I really enjoy the Sapor with its top airflow, as well as the Vector with comp cap and I love my snubnose rdas. All are easy to build on. My go to wire is nichrome 80 26 gauge.
That length is cotton, longer ones in boxes will say 100% Rayon Fibers
