Questions & Mysteries Who is the best representative of each Nen type?

Per Togashi's nen mastery chart, I'll go like this:
Enhancement: Netero and Sacrifice Gon (the only ones in the "ultimate" tier). Uvogin and Komugi are only in the "genius" tier. "Maha"/Zigg, Phinks and Nobunaga are still unknown.
Transmutation: Bisky (the only one in the "ultimate" tier). Hisoka and Youpi are only in the "genius" tier. Killua, Feitan and Machi are still unknown, but Bisky hinted that Killua might easily surpass her someday.
Emission: Meruem and Zeno (the only ones in the "ultimate" tier). Silva is only in the "genius" tier. Razor is merely a "great", doesn't come even close (although he has a scary aura, he's below Knov in nen mastery, for example). Leorio and Franklin are still unknown.
Manipulation: Illumi and Pouf (the only ones in the "genius" tier). Morel incredibly is just a "great" (I think that he makes up with his mindset and base stats). Kalluto, Shalnark and Shoot are still unknown. This is one is the hardest to speculate, as we don't have an "ultimate" yet.
Conjuration: Abengane (incredibly, he's a "ultimate" in Togashi's chart, so it shows that nen mastery isn't related to strength). Kurapika is still an unkown, but he might be up there in the future. Genthru and Kortopi are just in the "genius" tier. Knuckle is an "excellent" and Shizuku is a "great". Kite and Tsubone are still unknown.
Specialists: Alluka hands down (not only he's an "ultimate", but his powers are also just too op). Chrollo is a serious candidate, but he's still in the "genius" tier, the same as Pitou. Tserriednich and Morena are still unknown.
Enhancement: Netero and Sacrifice Gon (the only ones in the "ultimate" tier). Uvogin and Komugi are only in the "genius" tier. "Maha"/Zigg, Phinks and Nobunaga are still unknown.

Best representative doesn’t necessarily mean the strongest to be fair
For example, Netero even being an Enhancer was heavily debated within the community due to the nature of his Hatsu
Uvogin is a stereotypical Enhancer so it’s fair to consider him the poster child of the category
Similar to how Pitou would wash Chrollo in a 1v1 but no one considers them the representative for the Specialist category

you said best when he wasn't and would've lost and died to shadow beast.
how can you not claim the strongest of all nen users a worst rep than uvogin lol meanwhile Netero showcased destructive capabilities beyond anything Uvo showcased, 2nd would be Ging, you do realize Netero took years to master 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva which was a complex blend of enhancement, emission and manipulation in one...its not just a nen ability its a construct which is Neteros own aura formed into buddhas hands, Netero showcases versatily in enhancement above the simplicity of simple boosts
Gon is also on a level of Uvo as a representative as he was able to emulate this similar with JaJanken on a smaller scale
Ging is the pinnacle of mastery and efficiency as an enhancer cited and noted via cannon
Uvo Big Bang Impact is nice but he is simply a pure offensive enhancer meanwhile Bisky is a better representative as an enchancer as well
Uvo is not even close as a the best representative for an enhancer.
that is highly debatable and i never included pitou as the best representative so the example is null and void in comparison to trying to downplay Netero - Tseeriednich would be similar to pitou for specialist but can argue hes a better rep than Chrollo as is his ability is more hax and an upgraded version of Chrollos, you can argue their is no "best" representative as they are all unique abilities from reality bending wish granting, to puppeteering, but I stated Chrollo due to his usage of stolen abilities being utilized in unison, enhanced and reworking how his ability works overall shown in his battle against Hisoka, meanwhile kurapika is also just as versatile and strategic in maximizing and utilizing nen abilities

Side note 1: it's easy to see that the ones in the halfway point between two categories are usually fantastic nen users, while the ones who place too close to a category's circle are usually mediocre. Not sure if this is a trend.
Side note 2: Togashi mentions that a character can change his/her position in the chart "depending on their training method/intensity, living environment, changes to their mind/body and other factors". So, it's possible for them to place within their category's circle, but it seems to be hard/detrimental, as the nen masters we saw so far usually recommend to stick with your nen affinity (or, at most, to adjacent categories). So maybe getting inside the circle isn't the best for the nen users placed in between categories.
