New versions of GoldHEN (v2.4b18.5 and newer) have shown that using ELF files instead of BIN works better , often reaching a perfect success rate.
For developers, the ELF Loader is "better" because it provides a consistent target. Rather than writing code that must hook into specific, shifting memory offsets of a browser exploit, they can compile their projects into standard ELF files. This standardization has led to a richer ecosystem of utilities. Because the loader can receive any compatible ELF file over the network, it transforms the PS4 from a locked-down appliance into a flexible workstation. Conclusion
supports dynamic linking with SPRX files and automatic symbol resolution at runtime, executing payloads in separate processes for better stability. Offline Options
Before we discuss "better," we must define the baseline. ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) is the standard binary format for Unix-based systems, including the PS4's FreeBSD-derived Orbis OS.

You want a specific recommendation. Here is the current hierarchy of "PS4 ELF Loaders" rated on the "Better Scale":
