  Most people use Cocamidopropyl Betaine.  But whether that makes it better or not is a matter of what you mean by “better”.  Better for what characteristics?

  For viscosity and foam, I think you will get better results from Cocamidopropyl Betaine when coupled with ALES or SLES.  For mildness, I’m not sure.
