Depends on what type of call you want. Mouth or electronic;
Mouth is good and you can change tones, volume, and urgency. But, it is bad if you are alone. Too much movement, then having to get the gun up and get a shot before the mutts run fer cover.
Electronic make it much easier for a person hunting alone, and work well with a decoy. Not only that, but you have much more selection of calls. One I have found that works well, is the yellow hammerhead woodpecker.

Moved your question down here to Predators and Furbearers, you may get more of a response down here.

This time of the year I would be using a "Interrogation howl", "Male Challenge", or a "Female Invitation" howl. They got loving on their mind this time of the year and any of the above three howls should bring a love sick coyote into gun range. However they still got to eat and the ole standby jack or cottontail in distress will work also, if'n your calling in a heavily called area the yellow hammerhead woodpecker would also be my choice.
