I try and use each team's default playbook to 'expand my horizons' so to speak, but I use Nebraska's playbook for league games for two reasons. One, I'm familiar with it and two, it has Ace, I-Form, Shotgun, and also Strong formations. I can go big or spread out the D.
I really like the Arkansas State playbook. If you have a QB that can run the ball, there are quite a few Shotgun formations that include a QB Blast or Power run as well as quite a bit of option.
If you like an Air Raid offense, then I think Houston's playbook is a great one to use because if you have a semi athletic QB, there's also some Read Option plays mixed in. It's a good mixture of runs and pass plays in it.
for my OD with TTU, I'm actually using BYU's playbook for some games. for other games either Houston or Oklahoma State(I think they are basically the exact same).
I like BYU's as it adds more under center formations, and I actually like the I-Form Slot Flex formation. it has a mesh, draw, HB Slip screen, and another pass play all using the same pre-snap motion and all work pretty well. I like the Ace - Flip Trips formation as well. if I could I would have mixed Houston's and BYU's playbook. gotten rid of the I-Form Tight and added Ace - Big. also add in the the Ace - Big Flip and Shotgun - Big Flip and probably get rid of I-Form - Normal and I-Form - Twins. I like the 3 shotgun split-back formations as well.
overall, BYU's playbook is pretty good for me as an Air Raid playbook. Houston/Oklahoma State also are pretty good. I would put the generic Air Raid playbook behind those.
for pro-style, I've only really used Maryland's. it's been pretty good so far, no complaints about it. I'll have to test others out to compare.

I love Illinois. I'm not like ya'll running option plays because I suck at them but I like Illinois's ACE and I-Form run plays plus the got some of my favorite passing plays like Ace Slot Flex Z Spot, I Form Close Twins PA HB Wheel, and Shotgun Y Trips HB Wk Double Unders.
In 09 and 10 I used Maryland's playbook but they took all my plays out.
What playbooks have option formatiions like flexbone wishbone but still have shotgun?
Take a peak at the Southern Miss playbook. It's pretty basic as far as formations (Ace, I-Form, Shotgun), but it has a lot of quality.
Obviously, the answer to this question would be "Depends". To determine the "best" playbook, first you have to look at what kind of offense you want to run. The best playbook for USC would not be the best for Alabama, Florida, Ohio State, or Notre Dame, for example. Every team is different in some way.

you might want to give San Jose State a look.
it seemed to have different pass routes than I am use to seeing.
I fell in love with Fresno State's playbook yesterday.

I'm liking Oregon State's playbook. A lot of ACE sets which are what I like.
Seriously though guys, Fresno State's playbook is very impressive. Very good combination of I-Form, Ace and Shotgun.
