As has been the case for a number of years now perf/$ the best choice is Noctua NT-H1. While there are better TIM on the market, they tend to be more exotic which requires special care during application or have specific lifecycles where they must be re-applied. Alternatives which perform better are also more expensive.
I've been building extreme-performance enthusiast systems for more than 20 years which has included using about every sort of exotic TIM you can imagine, including all the various types of liquid metals. Noctua NT-H1 is my continued go-to and the numerous benchmarks of TIMs continues to provide strong evidence that for the money you can't beat it.
