Depends on the level of tricks you know. But the basic idea i like to follow is do a trick you like and whatever mount it end in, do a trick you like from that mount and so on. But try not to repeat the same elements because you dont get clicks for repeated elements

If the competition is really close I would stick to something more basic to learn (like speed combos). Gentry Stein’s speed combo that Mr. Matio (spelling?) explains on YouTube is pretty nice looking and simple. Or variations of skin the gerbil (tutorial on this website 🙂 ) can work also.
