Whichever one suits the purpose best ;) Java moss is a reliable one, but most of the others grow fine for me too.

Floating Riccia fl. can look very nice, but also can get annoying once it goes everywhere, covers the surface and blocks the light. THe non floating form is ok.
Java and X-mas moss can feel very soft specially X-mas grows in nice 3D shapes

Stringy can look interesting, as it grows straight vertically upwards.

take a look here:
