Which one you recommend using?

The stock prusa fan nozzle is ASA. I would expect the ASA, ABS, CPE HG100 and XT-CF20 to all perform well for the part. The ABS is likely the most cost effective solution.

Yes I would go ASA probably. I am personally using Extrudr GreenTec Pro but it is expensive (but no styrene and biodegradable). If you never tried annealing HTPLA I would avoid trying that on the shroud, need a bit of experience I think.
