BBMap uses a multi-affine gap penalty, which is similar to a logarithmic gap penalty. It's open-source. Probably, a logarithmic (or similar) gap penalty would be slightly better, since the current implementation uses fixed steps rather than a continuous penalty.
thanks a lot Brian :)) I will have look at BBMap
