It sucks that mercator became the standard map. I know basically nothing about maps, but i know how not-great mercator is. Of the little i know about cartography I like Winkel Tripel the best
Dln’t quote me on this, but from what I’ve heard, the Mercador projection became standard because it’s good for navigating since qit conserves angles. Draw a strait line depicting your current trajectory and another the trajectory that would get you where you want, measure the angle between them, and that’s the actual angle you need to turn.

Winkel Tripel is very nice!
Ah, I see you’re that kind of map enthusiast, eh?
Edit: I see you’ve already posted it yourself. Not an original bone in my body.
