I asked the same question and everyone said they all are the same. Only the earlier ones had more metal to work with if one was to P&P.

Are you looking for the best performing head as cast or the best for porting, the answer is different depending which you meant to ask.
The answers sofar have been focused on best for porting which are actually worst as cast.
