Ask a dozen different people and you'll get a dozen different answers.

Yep everyone has their own personal favourite that works for them.

Try Chewys, Jb's, mick/taz they are all popular, personally I use the Jb base

Chewy's for me done in a pressure cooker, I'll be making some more Tomorrow. I think it's best made with Chewy's mixed power and then used with one of his many recipes, that what I do and I'm very happy with the results.

I think the main thing is too cook the base correctly, then try recipes and find something you like and adapt to your own tastes if needed

Don't overlook Bigboaby1's "Glasgow base"; highly recommended by quite a few.  Available in various sizes, versions and iterations.

I think bases are all a bit much of a muchness. It's how you cook them what gets the result your after.

I agree with the method being the biggest influence. Most of the bases are pretty similar. I split Chewy's into 6 portions, each making about 3 or more curries, so say 20 curries from the base. So the 2 heaped tbs (say 8 tsp) of Chewy spice mix  that is added to the base is divided into 20 curries, so about 0.4 tsp per curry. It's clearly not going to make a huge difference if I change that mix to say CA's, particuarly as I'm adding extra spice to each final curry in any case. It's pretty clear when you fil the pan; there is so much onion in comparison to everything else.

Correct mike, & proper dilution and/or reduction is critical.. which is difficult to judge correctly from any recipe or video..or by taste on its own for that matter.
The guy who does it day in day out, for a living will be able to tell you if the base is restaurant/t/a standard though, by recipe / sight & taste
