The battle of the bases is nicely outlined here:

=

they say that we can only keep track of about 7 (+-2) things at a= time, so perhaps 8 is the better base, supported by the high regularity of= it's early decimals.

I certainly like 12 more than 10 for = it's early prime divisibility, but if you're going ideal, you may a= s well be bold and go for 60!
