The best tool for Scaffolding

Hello, I would like to know if somebody can you advice me to choose the best scaffolding tool (for bacterial genome)?

I get contigs from Spades, and would like use the assembly with nextstrain for snp analysis

Thank you

contigs scaffold assembly spades

Can you provide more information on what data you have? Chances are without something like optical mapping, high quality long read data, and/or Hi-C, you're only going to get a contig level assembly.

Also, there is nothing stopping you from SNP calling with a contig level genome, but if made up of lots of small contigs you will lose a reasonable amount of data.
