BCE Battlecomp 1.5 it's a little pricey but i'll be damned if my muzzle doesn't stay almost dead level with continuous fire.
Its interesting that all these answers came without anyone asking you:
1) Whats your budget
2) Do you want to be able to mount a suppressor to it?
3) Will you be competing? If so, what class?
With that said, my go to brake is the Miculek. Its $35 and works better than most.
It works far far better than circumferentially ported brakes like a the BattleComp or a dynacomp.
The down side is its a good bit louder than something like a Battlecomp.
If you aren't competing and are willing to spend a lot of money, the JP Rifles large comp is considered to be one of the best.
In general, spend some time googling 3-gun competition equipment. Thats where the rubber hits the road.
I remember my first comp, it was a Primary Arms. I thought it was awesome. Then I ran into Garry from Newington Gun Exchange at a gun show. He sold me an old beat up Miculek comp for $10 and it was much more effective than the Primarey Arms.
The thing to remember is you need to watch to see how your sights move off the target with recoil. A really good comp will allow you to keep the target in the field of view with a scope when you fire.
Also, don't forget that clocking the comp can be as important as what kind of comp you have. When you fire, the recoil causes your shoulder to open up towards the target. So if you are right handed, the gun not only recoils up, but recoils to the right as your body rolls.
The comp also needs to nudge the barrel to the left when you fire. You do this by orienting the top of the comp somewhere around 2 oclock so that it pushes both down and left.
I hope this makes sense. There are a bunch of other great comps. If I remember the Lund is very good. Ill find a link to a front sight article that is very good.

When will people learn? B R A K E. Muzzlebrake. The friggin thing won't take a lunch break, nor will it break during use (best case). It reduces felt recoil, means slowing backwards motion down. Is it really that complicated?
Why do I, the guy who has never been to an English or American school, have to point that shit out?
