Default What is the best clipped peak restoration tool?

I've tried Sound Forge. The declipped waveform *looks* reconstructed
and close to the original, but still sounds distorted nonetheless. The
ClipFix plugin for Audacity is somewhat better, the one for Nero Wave
Editor is highly regarded by some but the application is unstable, the
instructions suck horse cock and the declipper didn't do any better
than Sound Forge and ADDED distortion. The CoolEdit tool looks
promising. What parameters would you guys recommend? Should I amplify
by -15 dB before I run the restoration tool or no? What is the best
choice? I don't care if the operation will take forever to do, I need
the restoration to be maximal.
