Pure copper or pure silver are pretty much the two best metals to use by a long shot over anything else. Steer clear of the alloys. Alloys of any kind tend to rapidly suck on the thermal conductivity of the metals, and even a copper/silver alloy performs worse than copper.

I'll be making some special order silver bases for my block design, but that's only because I'm pretty happy with how it performs.
