Best Goby and shrimp pair??

In my opinion and experience, nothing beats a watchman goby and a tiger pistol shrimp. They both get to be a decent size and every one I've tried to pair ended up working it out. Plus, watchman goby's can be tough little buggers and do a good job of protecting the shrimp when it's vulnerable. I lost a shrimp with my current goby and when I added a new one after a few months, it seemed like they weren't going to pair up. It took a while but they eventually got together and now their main entrance/exit it front and center in my tank.

Edit: I usually have the blue spotted watchman's. Not the prettiest but a blue spot was one of the first fish I ever had and they seem to live for quite a long time.
 
I second a watchman/tiger as very hardy and will eat anything. I also like the highfin/randalls pairing but I have to feed frozen with that goby.
