There's no "best". There's only "best for you".
There are many bocal makers out there. I've even heard of people using Loree bocals on Loree english horns lately with good results -- something that was almost unheard of 20 years ago.

I use the same crooks that came with my Marigaux cor, though I have found the older Howarth 2BM crooks offer something different from the Marigaux crooks. Even so, I'm sticking with what I know, and with what works.
But it's one of those things - either stick with what you know or forever be on the lookout for the alleged holy grail and end up not settling down to any one thing at any one time. You might like one crook one day and another the next, then later on find it works differently with a different reed and then be back to square one.

I would suggest you try a few (different makes, diameters, lenghts, etc) and decide which one suits you best.
Good luck!
(And I see you're in Madrid. I'll be there in november-december, I'm pretty excited about it!)
