Whatever plastic you decide on, always make sure you have plenty of black/chartreuse.
the best jig is the one you have the most confidence in. Over the years i have figured out the I have more confidence in minnow type baits. (bobby Garland,bone head baits) I use hair jigs in the spring. color depends on water color and clarity and depth i am fishing.

I've been taking photos of some of my catches with a digital camera. I download them into folders of particular waters and dated folder within those. The day folder shows the number of fish caught and within them shots of fish caught with the lure still attached. Photos unlike my memory don't lie.
My favorite jig is usually the one tha I only have ONE left of or could only find one of at the store. My buddy is usually using it and catching all the fish. OR, it is the last of that color and I just lost it to a stump.
Seriously, water color, overcast, depth, water clarity, and sun can all contribute to good jigs. Some colors work well in some lakes due to stain of water and not in others. Then you have people that say "I only ever use this... and I have no problem catching fish". On the flip side to that, they also might not know what they are missing either!
If we are talking tiny heads, I honestly don't think it is as much a factor as bigger heads. I doubt the fish are looking at a 1/32 oz jig sticking out the front of a 2 inch plastic.
For clarity however, it is important to understand what we are talking about. Many people consider a "Jig" to be just the hook and the lead head. Then, others say "jig" and they are talking hair jigs, or soft plastics. A lot like going south and hearing someone say "You want a coke, if so, what kind". Then the.reply is Pepsi. Coke being their universal term for Soda.
I'll never forget hearing someone say they got a mess of perch only to look in the basket and sed three rock bass, 15 blue gills, two sun fish, and a crappie. Drives me nuts!

If I was restricted to using only one lure for ANY fish species, it would be the Crappie Magnet.

I fish a 1/8 Arkie that I pour with a #2 gold lite wire for minnow dipping and jig rigging. Painted pink. It feels the same every time. One less thing to worry about for me.
