Best Garmin map product for 945

Which Garmin map product would provide the best navigation in the mountains of Idaho on the 945? Garmin TopoActive(that comes with watch), Garmin Topo 24k or Garmin Topo 100k. I would like better resolution than the TopoActive but I don't know if the small display makes that difficult.

24k and 100k means 1:24000 and 1:100000 in which smaller is better.

So I would say that the Garmin Topo 24k is the best. Even the description of those 24k says so. "TOPO 24K maps feature our highest level of topographic detail (1:24,000 scale), complete with terrain contours, searchable points of interest and turn-by-turn directions on roads and trails."
