Whichever one you like the most is the best. For me it's 14" AA Medium hat top over 14" AA Medium hat bottom.

For me currently, it's Sabian HHX 14" Power hats. Great sounding hat. However, I also like Paiste 15" 2002 sound edge and Zidjian 14" K/Z combo. That would be my hi-hat triple threat/trifecta, etc....
I like the 2002 sound edge

I've just bought myself some 14" A Custom Projection Hats.
They're replacing my Avedis 14" Mastersounds.
The best hi-hats are what sounds best to your own ear. Get to a store and try some behind a kit!!
I just bought me a pair of zildjian 14" mastersound and they are great for any kind of music you wanna play.
I have tried a lot and Like my Z New beat 15s, and almost all my cymbals are sabian AAX
I love my Sabian XS20 Medium Hi Hat top and matching Bottom. Apparently they're comparable to the Zildjian A New Beats... Either way I love them!

Proud User of DrumDial, Torque Keys, and other such "nonsense". Heh.
The drumstore here doesn't even tune their kits for display, and are very lenient on letting you hit anything. I personally love the sound of AA hihats of any size, but especially the 14 inch.

I'm really loving my Meinl MCS 14', i know they are not the best, but they are cheap, cheerful and sound pretty good.
Just right for me !
