Guides (titan) for bass casting rods?

What would you consider are the best micro titan casting guides for bass rods right now? I’m gonna build some around 7 feet bassrods with different actions. I will be using new Daiwa Zillion casting reels, with thin 8-strand braid and FC leaders. Casting distans and sensitivity are importand of course, but I also hate noise from the braid going through the guides, I know much of that are caused by the braid it self. What models and brands are considered the best right now? Cost is not a factor, simply the best guides to put on these type of rods today, if not titan, what should I try out and why?

IMO
At present Batson makes the best Miro on the market

Here is a post from about 5 years ago. With the only change being that now they consider me part of their pro staff. At the time of the post, apart from buying trying and testing their products we had no other affiliation

I'm thinking about trying the new Pacbay Minima titanium TiBlack T and F guides. Are these top notch or are there even better alternatives I should have a look at?

IMHO, without question, the new Fuji Ti/ Torzite Guides. Pricey; but excellant!
