What is "best" depends on the goals.  In terms of lightfastness, 100%
carbon is the best.  Since it can also be the cheapest, it ought to be at
least considered.  The inkset I use for fine art is Eboni-6.  See
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf.   My general approach is
outlined at my general B&W information page at
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/ .

I do think an Epson printer supported by QTR <
http://www.quadtonerip.com/html/QTRoverview.html> adds a dimension of
flexibility and control that otherwise might be lost.  Epson printers also
have more third party ink options available.

Some Canon models are supported by a B&W rip made by Bowhaus --

software, so I can't comment on it.
