The two I've written most with are old classic DADGAD and DGDGBD
I shall see what I think of DBbDFCA, haven't tried that.
It has the advantage that by tuning two strings up a tone and one down a minor third, the overall tension remains almost the same, so it's possible to do it on a floating-trem guitar without having to retune the other strings too much.

It's best to dedicate a guitar to a specific tuning, and buy string gauges that keep the tension optimal
But, for temporary use, think about the overall tension:
So when I change a normal string set to DADGAD, I increase the tension up to D# to D#

Eric Clapton: EADGBE
Ry Cooder: Nah, don't know it.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
CGDGBE - I call this one the Jeff Kollman tuning because he was the first guy I heard explain it.
