I love a white ultra fish 14mm from ub baits but he isn't doing any custom orders no more (good thing I order loads before he stopped) so I would go cc Moore northern special +
Anything from pjp or u ub baits and you wont go far wrong.

Should get more response if you put it in the bait section.
Whichever brand you use, none of the high viz pop ups put out unadulterated food signals like a proper food bait, thus you're mainly but not completely going for the colour. in terms of colour recommendation whilst you can go for eye wateringly bright I've noticed a definite edge in slightly subdued white colours, almost the colour of the inside of white bread, a cream colour if you will. something to consider?

My stand outs over the years have been DNA Milky malts, white sticky krills, Northern Specials. I'd use all with confidence.

Mainline milky toffee seem to produce consistently wherever I have taken them, along with northern specials which are my go to hookbait all year round if I'm using a bright hookbait. Something about them milky toffee that seem to get me a bite when all else fails, they just work.

RH Ballistic B pop ups.
Used them for a few years now and in spring they often beat the pineapple hi-attract baits.

Just pick one from a reputable company and you won't go too far wrong. I'm a big fan of the northern specials, but as said you'll get a hundred different answers.
Just pick one and worry more about where you put it than what brand or flavour it is.

Northern Specials and Nash Citrus are the ones I've found most consistent over the years.
Both consistent fish catchers and consistent buoyancy, both important IMO.

I did pretty well on some mainline cell white pop ups last year as the weather got a bit warmer.
By way of a tangent, if white is your colour and you aren't casting too far, you can do the business on a bit of bread fished as a pop up...

A White pop up is a White pop up, flavor is irrelevant, sub concisely you know it because you ask about a WHITE pop up not a particular flavor.
36 Years carping tells me it's color this time of year.
Look at it from a salesman's point of view, Red, White, Pink, Yellow, Orange. That's 5 pots. Now if you have 6 different flavors that's 30 pots, it's a ****ing scam.
It's always been about color not flavor but todays carper doesn't know, that's why you see adds on FB for various pots of pop ups for sale, you constantly buy what you never needed.

Northern specials have been my go to bait for years . White or yellow 
Just make up a batch of non flavoured white pop ups. Then just glug them or spray them with flavour and attractants etc. Its what I do in small 60ml or 120ml sample bottles of Ebay. And then airdry them if you think it will effect its buoyancy or just use them as they are which is what I do.
This way you can experiment with about half a dozen popups in various flavours etc, and if they work keep using them, and if they don't, they don't and at the end of the day, you will not end up with a fortunes worth of shop bought popups that were failures. And if you want, you can even dye them another colour.
Also a neutral non flavoured and no attractants added white bait is a good bait to use as a fish will pick it up. I used to have a small piece of white plastic bag in my garden pond about an inch square, From morning to night, the carp would just suck it in and blow it out repeatedly.
Also think about, you may be recommended the "Best White Popups" but a lot of others will know that and they may have been done to death on your water and fish may be very wary of them or even bolt away. Like washed out pink nutcracker popups on the water I fish, they was done to death for about 2 or 3 years by everyone in the know and to use them now or even nutcracker boilies is guaranteed a blank.
