You said “best results”, but I imagine that the theoretical “best” may not necessarily be the most aesthetically pleasing in practice.
For example, limiting output to a small set of characters gives it a more uniform look which may be nicer. Then also there’s the “retro” effect of using certain characters over others.

And in the extreme that could totally change things. Maybe you want to reject ASCII and instead use the Unicode block that has every 2x3 and 2x4 braille pattern.
