What is the best and worst bezels Breitling have produced? Which bezel would you like to see in the future?

Never tried 240 clicks bezel. I have old Chronomat Blackbird and it has 120 clicks but I preferred 60 clicks bezel on my even older Chronomat. I feel that 120 is too much.
And for the worst bezel... OK, I may be wrong but I didn't find 48 clicks bezel on Avenger II GMT useful at all. While it can be used for third time zone and it is bidirectional (which I love), I never had a need for that and for everyday usage it is useless. Very nice and comfy watch but I sold it because of bezel and bought Aerospace instead (with a very nice 120 clicks bezel).
Another bezel that put me off the Breitling watch is bezel on Breitling Chronomat Blackbird 44mm A44359. Ok the watch is too big for me, but why put the 360 degrees bezel with 72 clicks on a beautiful pilot watch is beyond my comprehension.

I would like to see more bidirectional bezels on Breitling watches.

I did not know that the Blackbird has 72 clicks. This was one of the watches I was thinking of buying. Not anymore, I guess. Sure it is not 60 or 120 clicks?

I also like bidirectional bezels. When it is not a diving watch, I see no problem with making it bidirectional.

Yes I'm sure about Blackbird. Don't know where they mind was. OK, it is something special, you can set it in increments of 5 degrees but I see no use for it. Maybe when you bail out over enemy territory without compass :)

"Maybe when you bail out over enemy territory without compass" :) As a retired plumber I do this a lot so it would be important to me. ;)
60 and maybe a 120 for me.
