what do you think will be th best LOR? Maybe the one that best describes you in a setting like the one you are applying to? if possible, maybe from someone who's judgment will be valued? Go figure...

Lord of the Rings AKA LOR should be from someone of power or prestige. Someone like the chief of the department or from a power house university, ivy league etc.
They should outline not just what a good person but illustrate what you have done and how they can guarantee that you will thrive in the residency of your choice.
Use your friends if you can. Especially if they are attendings.
