Ideally the Streak LT 4, but they can be somewhat unforgiving at times, so I think the Takumi Sen strikes a good balance between cushion and response.
I wore the vaporfly for a track 5k recently. Came within 5 secs of a 3 year old PR not being as fit as I was then.I will be wearing them for everything from 5k to marathon now.

That's the dilemma. But I find running in the Vaporfly my stride is more lopping and slower. Easy to overstride. With the flats I can turnover faster. The Vaporfly may be faster but wearing flats seems funner.
adidas adizeros. I ran 5k all the way up to marathon is them. They are by far the best road flat.
I get zero benefit at 5k from Vaporflys and have run faster in Streak LTs. It's definitely designed for longer distances or maybe for those who heel strike at shorter distances.
I have the Zoom Streak 6 (great shoe) and the 4% sitting right next to each other. I grabbed the 4% for my last 5k, no regrets.

For 5K especially if you are midfoot/forefoot striker = Takumi !!!
Carefully peel out the semi-builtin insole and put in something ligher like from XC shoes = even faster
Adios is a great shoe but too much shoe for such a short distance.
