Basically I'd say, if you want popular producers, it betrays your showline mentality.  "Best" in workinglines I believe is more dynamic, like a "presidency", where your showlines are probably more static, like an "aristocracy."

The importance of any particular-named working dog should be proportional to the required balance of the overall breed population's particular needs of the time.

That is, provided we can all agree what those needs are, which we can't seem to do.

So really, there's no "best", when it's all so relative, and then complicated by multiple intermingled characteristics sought by breeders of varying priorities.  Knowing what it is you want, and going the the lines/breeders that are known for producing that, is a more satisfying approach.

There's dogs that do, dogs that don't,
dogs that can't and dogs that won't.
For you, a dog that'll do for you, is a dog that'll do.
