I had a Transatlantic TA-15 back in the day... thought it had great cleans. Cool amp, wish I would have kept.
 
For me there's no best. Mk1 is lovely. Mark 2b/C+ have awesome clean sound as does early Mk3. 3CH Dual rectifier has tencency to sit in a mix very nicely, it is always present but not pokey plinky plonky i.e. you can saturate it a little to get some compression while still sounding clean. If I would use clean I would perhaps take the Dual Recto. I find it just too complicated to set an amp for both clean and dirty especially with 2 amp configuration. Some amps have 2 channels which are in different phase so you'd have figure out how to solve that issue and managing the levels would be a nighmare.
