Pete,
The best boat on the water with the best wake is the one giving you a pull! Everyone will have their own opinion on what is the best wake. Some people like a wider wake, some a narrower wake, some more vert, some more rampy. It all depends on your style of riding.
We love our wake. Here are some pictures of our 2002 SANTE with only the stock ballast (approx. 900 lbs.) in salt water. Probably don't need to say this but it takes more weight in salt water to "sink" the boat due to the increased density of the water.
These pictures were taken at 22.5 mph at 70'. Hope this helps.
