I would say XSPEC i.e. spectrecoin which is an advanced privacy coin. Currently trading around 50 cents but can potentially rise up there alongside monero. The privacy features are better but the marketing is worse. Eventually when the website is revamped etc.. it will rise - alot!
Don't under estimate what an established name can do though, just look at Bitcoin. Does Bitcoin have the best tech? No, but they have respect and a history. Look at the gain Monero saw yesterday, that wasn't due to technology, it was due to adoption in the music industry. Spectrecoin is interesting but it feels to be shilled very hard on these forums.
