I can't claim my choice is "the best" but I know it works well. I have a handful of these JAWCO brand (made in USA? dam straight....) thread repair dies in our typical metric sizes on the 911. They're tiny size for getting in tight spaces.

Use some lubricant like penetrating oil (Gibbs, Kroil, 50/50 mix of auto trans fluid & acetone, etc.) to help dissolve the rust and it also reduces wear on your tool. You can use a 14mm deep socket to run the tool up and down the threads. Then clean with solvent and put some high temp anti seize paste on the studs.
