For the best jig..... first it has to catch me...
I’ve heard multiple people say some are made to catch the angler and I admit I jump when I see a pretty jig. Doesn’t mean they don’t catch fish but might not actually be the best for them.....sure pretty though......lol. Personally I think they all work just different situations. Having confidence in what you fish is a big part of it as well.

IN IT FOR THE THUMP!
No better advice for any species.Depth & speed control is paramount, so you need to use the tools (jigs) that accomplish those objectives for you at all times. Colors vary, with the entire spectrum being quite capable of catching crappie ....
Color is limitless.
I keep digital logs in picture form starting with a lake fished folder, then a day folder with numbers caught from that lake and then a folder that shows the various lures and fish caught on them as well as relevant sonar information. I've been doing for over a few years and posting examples from those folders thereby proving over and over Crestliner's advice above. Photos don't / can't lie and as anglers we can't ignore photographic proof when something is proven to work consistently and that are not just flukes.
No doubt about it. The rest IMO purely optional and personal at best. One thing many anglers find fascinating are the many optional lures and ways to catch fish.The BEST jig is also in my opinion the one that ketches the fish ….

I've always preferred natural colors, so black or unpainted for me.
Arkie pro sickle hook jigs if fishing open water, weedless for timber and brush piles.
Thanks for all the help, and definitely appreciate all the details. Anything that will help me out.
