Best is subjective there, of course. Tetris is proven solvable with that bag method. https://tetris.wiki/Playing_forever
20 cycles through the bag can be packed into exactly 56 lines and that pattern can be repeated forever. Such a solved game might not meet everyone's definition of best. Although for casual play it's great to have every piece coming regularly.
