One I have used that worked well and was very cheap (as in FREE) was broken unglazed flower pots, The pieces were about a inch across.
I think it would be difficult to determine which is "best".
I'm sure almost any commercially available media could house enough bb for your aquarium, so long as YOU cycle it correctly.
I use ceramic rings and have never had a problem with them.

Seachem just released a new super-porous bio-media that is suppose to be 10x as effecient as bioballs. It is called Seachem's Matrix. I remove all media in canister filters and completely stuff them with this..
I think we can determine "best filter media" in this case as in the cheapest and one with the most surface area.
