Depends on what you are looking to harvest, more mulies than rabbits in this area.

I’d look at a wmu where permission is available more than worrying about trophy quality. If you can’t get permission….

Default No "Best" available

Every region has their super bucks in it, just some better than others. Are you just looking for quick tags (every 2-3 years) or willing to wait out the 6-8 years for a real premium area?
I would look at all the factors for what you personally call "best". If you're happy with a 160-170 type mule deer, I would say there is likely a few select deer in every zone. If you are looking for a real "gagger" you have to be willing to wait the necessary draw wait. Some great areas in the river areas in the 130's zones or 160's. The 150's have always produced decent to awesome deer. Guys that consistently take big deer every year, are guys that scout and hunt these areas relentlessly. Shed hunting, using trail cams, and basically getting out and burning boot leather will find some decent deer. As mentioned, access is critical.

Tried 208 a few years ago and wasn’t that impressed with the trophy quality to be honest with the long draw wait time and had some good permission along the river and hiked most of the days in the valley

The river valley between drumheller and trochu holds some big deer, smaller valleys like the ghost pine creek may have less competition for hunting spots and easier terrain to hike around in.

There's deer everywhere.
Pick somewhere close to home.
