Anything that adds resistance/impedance between wall power and first cap will help increase conduction angle. Any increase in conduction angle moves you closer to a real choke input supply.Play around....up the transformer DCR...go to FWCT and a 5U4....try an RC filter stage. There is no best here. It is more of a mental exercise and to see if what looks "pretty" on the scope/sim.....and/or.....to see/hear if drawing current at a steady constant level (that reverses each 1/2 cycle) is better than drawing current in sine wave manner. Don't forget to increase load as needed.
Being who and what we are here, I reckon when we see an evil square wave we freak and think "sum of odd order harmonics".
