For me, a good bit of hash quality places method over substance.
I can do a run of dried trim removing with ice and water, and have a nice ball of hash...but if I freeze the trim immediately after trimming I get a much, much nicer end product with nearly none of the green bits the other run of the same plant would create.
I am also a firm believer that the best hash buzz is using all of the resin gland instead of separating it into different sized bits. I enjoy getting all of what the resin has to offer, rather than separating it's magic.
...perhaps the resin in the smallish tric stalks is a catalyst for the resin in the larger gland head or visa-versa? In any event I don't separate sizes of material...and I don't need to buy any bags either.
Gumby method using fresh frozen trim...I will put it up against ANY other method of chemical free extraction.
I rarely will press anything and I like to handroll most all of it. I will take a ball out and work it for a bit for a month or two before I put it in my stash case.
All that said...
My faves have to be F-13, Mental Floss, and Herijuana.
Heri's trics are big, fat, and stupid full of greasy resin, and your hands feel like they have gritty sand on them while trimming.
LOL...I have friends telling me where my hash has been imported from. They are certain that the black tar balls that I bring around are being brought in from Nepal or some place like that. lol....I tell them I dunno but my boy sure gets the fire!

This summer I had a C99 that had some sort of mutation thing going on...so I decided to hash her all out. I ran her in several runs, and the whole plant made luscious reddish hash. I can't put her on my top list because i have only extracted from one C99 so far, but the first one def. was a winner. Here is a shot of a piece...
Under the influence of hashish I dreamed up a plant bred for hash making, with comparatively small flowers and massive amounts of sugary leaf sprouting dense rows giant trichomes. Seems like it might not be impossible, but would take a while.
In real life I've had the best luck with Sweet Tooth for both overall trich production & sugariest trim.
I used to make piles of golden resin from Hashplant. Good micron size and dry hash that easily slides through the screens.
I had strains that were frostier but the resin was so sticky and the glands were so large they'd clog up the screen. Amazing hashish but took more time. I imagine Deep Chunk might be that type.
my favorite all time variety for hashmaking is spice of life Shiskaberry.
let em go till trichomes are ambering a little more than what I allow for harvesting bud.
I use the simple water method as well with little refining and enjoy 1st class results.
I did just make a nice chunk of hash from some antenna seeds purplelazerlite and was very impressed with the returns and the quality of this golden blonde pure sativa hash.
Another strain I remember for it's hashish was White Russian. As buds it was potent and stoney but very generic. For hash making it was excellent.
Resin glands easily fell of the flowers without much shaking. Perfect size and dryness to slide through the screens. The best part was the color, a beautiful silver.
Shishka would be a great choice for making hash.
