IMO what one person thinks the best might not be the best for every MG.

What seems to be best overall for the MGB might not be as handy for the
MGA or T series.  The MGB and MGA both have master cylinders under the
bonnet.  The MGA is a little harder to get out of.  So, if one is
bleeding out all corners, you have to get out, check the level in the
master, check the color and condition of the fluid at each wheel, top up
the master, and get back inside if using the brake pedal.  The T Series
is worse as the master is under the floor accessed through a bung hole. 
And the T Series with the suicide doors is harder yet to get out of. 
Climbing in and out to check fluid levels, pumping brakes, checking the
drain tube, etc., is tedious.

My vote would be for the EzeBleed or other pressurized system using a
supply tank.  You never have to keep checking the master to see if it's
going empty.  You never have to climb in and out, etc., just go to each
corner, crack the nipple, and wait until the fluid runs clear.  Most
professional garages use some sort of pressurized equipment.
