"best" depends on what you are using it for. If field cleaning in need of speed, sprays are ok for getting rid of grime in a receiver and getting it back working for the day. For that, I keep a small can of break free (CLP) in the truck. For heavier, I used Powder blast followed by the break free for lubrication. The Powder Blast will leave the action completely void of lubricant and water, so you need the other spray to lubricate and protect the action and prevent flash rust. I find it useful in rainy weather upland hunting and shooting clays. I don't use this with rifles, just shotguns and pistols. For rifles I prefer a Otis set for hunting and standard rods and patches for competition guns.

No aerosols for me. I use Bore Tech C4 for carbon and, although my custom barrels never need it, I use Bore Tech Eliminator for copper removal.

Any particular reason why you are seeking an aerosol bore cleaner?

Starting fluid is a really good cleaner as is brake cleaner and carb cleaner, though, none will remove copper to my knowledge.

Personally, I prefer Sweet's and Sea Foam, used independently, as each has it's purpose.

Boretech C4 and Cu after that followed by cameloin gel just to check.
