This is the one I use. I don't know if it is the best, but does a decent job.

I also use the Dust Be Gone mask with bass wood and other none or low toxic woods. With woods that may be more toxic I use a two canister respirators. 3m makes some good disposable masks also. Do not forget you eye protection !!

I use a mask called "Totobobo" (I know--weird sounding) but it is so light I don't even know I have it on but it keeps out everything and doesn't fog my glasses. Just do a google search for Totobobo and you will find it. Cost about $24.
