Personally, I like weighted dips and close grip bench, but I would have to say close grip bench is the best

Close-grip press and weighted dips are both splendid triceps exercises. Do them both.

Dips (weighted) and push ups (weighted).

Thought some might find this interesting.
The results of the EMG studies show which exercises produce the greatest amount of stimulation within each target muscle group. The following table displays these results.
IEMG max motor-unit activation
Exercise/% EMG Muscle Stimulation
Decline triceps extensions (Olympic bar) - 92
Triceps pressdowns (angled bar) - 90
Triceps dip between benches - 87
One-arm cable triceps extensions (reverse grip) - 85
Overhead rope triceps extensions - 84
Seated one-arm dumbbell triceps extensions (neutral grip) - 82
Close-grip bench press (Olympic bar) - 72
