Hello and welcome! Yeti's got it right, Flameshadow Conjuring and Twinflame are both very good, and I'd say they round off the podium of the three best red ones after Kiki. The weakest ones in my shell are Splinter Twin and Flamerush Rider. While they're both nominally repeatable, they're a bit more conditional in their returns. Twin lets you get tokens over and over again, but the way I've calibrated my beatstick choice means I lose out on attack/damage-based stuff from Archangel of Thune or Kalonian Hydra. As such, if there's any other copying the Twin goes live on an ETB value creature more often than not. As for Flamerush, he's a beast if there's some proper combat protection so he doesn't just perish. That failing, he's an overcosted Twinflame that skips the attack trigger (Hydra and Boomgoat are sad). It should be noted that even these "weak" options are still pretty solid, as per me running them. Note I didn't rag on Feldon here - I acknowledge my removal-light meta is a bit of an anomaly, and if he works for you then cool
I notice you haven't mentioned non-red copiers, any reason why? Blade of Selves is fantastic.
As to how much to run, my list's proportions stem from an attempt to streamline its gameplay and assure success of the modular design. Copiers are the glue that turns the various nontokens into stuff Ghired can populate, and you can always find some use for them. Your exact mileage may vary, as Ghired's apparently general enough to lend himself to various different gameplay experiences. I like mine reliably making many Gruul Chunguses, for example![Sticking Out Tongue :P](./images/smilies/3-tongue-fb.png)
