I personally don't know, but I'd guess 79/80 or 110 from what I've heard.
79/80 due to it being the lowest possible tactical level for your 76 to reach and benefit from gems/enchants. Also 80 has some cool ICC gear including shadowmourne.
110 or 111 based on forum discussion.

Any idea why 111 over 110? (besides being one level higher lol)

Best bracket: Best is generally a term describing biased opinions, so here is mine. I think the best bracket to twink at from level 76+ would be eighties. Lots of customization & personality, diverse raid content and very balanced PVP.
Most Popular: The most popular bracket would have to be seventies. 79 Retribution Paladin could be very strong and have a severe advantage over 70s because of the mastery unlock @78.
90 shouldn't even be a contender for best or most popular, and neither should 100. Although, 100 may be a lot of fun as far as PvE.
110 is currently a blast, 111 isnt worth it: Loses the legacy value that a 110 holds, and the benefits dont seem all that worth it.

lvl101 is very strong for a pally IF you are geared to the max (over ilvl190, ret can get up to max 209, while a holy pally can get to the max 226) .. the only class that can kill you is a really good mage, they dont even need to have the best gear, if they know how to play a mage well they kill you no matter how well geared you are (but such good mages are rare, i say your encounters with them is about 1% of the time, rest of the mages you can finish them off quite easily) .. the classes that you CANNOT kill are the healers, if they are above average healers who knows how to play their class, you cant kill them .. that being said, you kill every other classes, you kill the best geared hunters, rogues, warriors, DKs, locks, elem & enh shaman, balance & ferals, your weakness is you cant chase after some of them to finish them off, they usually ran off when they are about to die, rogues and druid especially, so you need to have your skystep potion, glider kit, and all your breakfree ready to be used when they start to flee, when you see their health getting really low, put dot on them .. 101 bracket gives you the biggest advantage in the whole game, average 101s are around 130 ilvl and 109s are in the 140-150 region, if you are around 200, they are only 75% of your ilvl
one thing to note, at 101, since its now based on stats and not ilvl, you should remove the 2 legion epic boes trinkets and use the 2 ilvl136 in WOD which gives 244 str and 261 str when proc, these are huge amount of str, combined, they are more than 50% of your total str stat, time it with saltwater gives you extra 30% dmg and avenger
110 is equally good, apart from the 3 pieces and the necklace you get, some of the remaining pieces ie. wrist, leggings etc. can be bought off AH, highest at the moment is ilvl265, with your legendary, you can easily get over the 260 mark, and most 110 who entered a bg are not even 200 yet, that again makes them about 75% of your ilvl which is a good gap
