Bombing Guide
Have you read the Bombing Guide on the wiki? It's pretty good. After reading it, you can come back here and ask more specific questions.
One thing we would need to know is: Do you play solo a lot? In that case, you need to focus on damage. Or do you usually play in parties? In that case, you can focus on either damage or support (status, vortices, etc.).

I always recommend crafting ash of Agni, voltaic tempest and venom veilor.
Those should get you through just about everything without making team members angry at you while you learn to bomb. They're easily weapons that everyone should look into if you ask me.
If you play solo you might want to look into the dark retribution + dark briar barrage combo for faster damage.

all great in different situations
Those three bombs are all great. Each is better in some situations and worse in other situations.
* Nitronome does normal damage with a lot of knockback. The knockback is sometimes helpful for keeping monsters away. But by spreading the monsters out, it hurts your ability to hit all of them with repeated blasts.
* Dark Briar Barrage is quite similar to Nitronome in speed and radius, but it does piercing damage with no knockback. The lack of knockback makes it easy to hit a crowd of monsters repeatedly. But it doesn't have the same defensive role.
* Ash of Agni is quite different. It doesn't do lots of damage quickly. It does lots of damage over a long period of time. But sometimes this is what you need. For example it works well for clearing arenas.
You haven't answered the questions that I posed in post #2 above. Nor is it clear that you've read the Bombing Guide. Help us help you.

The issue is less you requiring one bomb that is best and more you requiring 2-3 bombs that cover a wide variety of enemies. I gave you two options for this-
Damaging AoE Support: Ash of Agni + venom veiler + eventually voltaic tempest
Pros: Effects more enemies at a time, only needs bomb CTR to work well, works well with party members
Cons: Less damaging on the whole, more reliant on team members
Damaging AoE Damager: Dark Retribution + Dark Briar Barrage
Pros: More damaging, not reliant on team members
Cons: Requires bomb damage and CTR to work well, less supportive, requires access to Seerus
Without knowing anything else about you (which is what Bopp was mentioning), I can't really say which if either of these is going to be better for you. They're just standard options, as if someone walked up to me and asked what bomb setup they should start with out of the blue... which should make sense considering that that's what you've done.
