What is the best driver for mysql to connect?

Question

I think quesiton is clear. I'm programming with C# and using MySQLDriverCS to connect MySQL. But I'm having issues about speed. Which drivers are you using to connect MySQL? MySQLDriverCS is the best solution? Please make some suggestions for me. Thanks in advance.

My plain ODBC connection worked against a 32-bit CentOS MySQL server, but C# could not get to it. — octopusgrabbus, Sep 17 '15 at 12:51

I would recommend using the official MySQL Connector/Net.
