What's The Fastest Encrusting Stoney Coral?

I have some ugly man-made rock, I'd like to encapsulate it with coral skeleton. In my research some possibilities include:

Sunset Montipora
Green Lantern Monti
Superman Monti
Purple Haze Monti

Meteor Shower Cyphastrea
Minefield Cyphastrea

Orange Leptoseris Mycetoseroides

Copps Purple Porites

What are your suggestions?

I think a green pavona might grow faster

Green Pavona is a nice looking coral! Does it encrust? It looks like it branches upward.

My vote is Cyphastrea also. My meteor shower grows faster then anything in my tanks period once its settled in & happy, feed it occasionally & it REALLY takes off.
