You ask for advice on "BEST" Lobster bait.
There are maybe 8,500 lobster persons and every one has their own "Best Bait".

My best is Striped Bass Racks.
I would put a cheap plastic barrel at your local fish cutting station at the marinas in your area and collect the left overs daily. You will have more bait than you can use.
Lobsters hate Stripers and when one gets dead in the water they attack with a vengeance!
Try a Scientific experiment.
Bait one trap with a oily rag, one trap with a Bass carcass, one trap with Yellow Tail frames or such from a fish house, bait a trap with blue fish frames. compare the results and you will know the bait to use in your area.

If you see me toss me a bucket of throw backs for this advice! Thanks
