There are still others in <random>. Yet they always use the cool twister one with the funny numbers

There's std::linear_congruential_engine, but it doesn't provide you with any (good) default parameters; only the bad ones from historical rand() implementations (minstd_rand0 / minstd_rand).
What alternative within <random> would you recommend and why?
