Spooky hook, but you can't get that until true endgame, and only then with decent luck. Prior to that, I prefer Skeletron Hand. Decent speed, decent length, dual grapple (useful for switching surfaces, suspending in gaps when building, and for gradually scaling walls and moving across ceilings when building/mining/etc), and it's fairly easy to obtain very early on.
