Depends on a number of things - such as type of oven, type of components, if you are washing the boards or not, etc.

Assuming nothing special, no clean, I would try the following (in that order):

Koki: S3X58-M406L Almit: LFM-48 Indium: 5.1

Cheers,

Rob.

i think the most important thing to consider is the # of reflows. is this a double sided assembly? if so OSP degrades during the first LF reflow. also there are many studies out there that show the wetting on OSP is inferior to some of the other commonly LF finishes.
