All synthethic speech is subject to individual taste. For instance, contrary to your opinion, I find Dubltalk the most useful speech I've ever found for fast and clear reading. I use it over any and all other speech, including Dec talk in any version. There is not one rightspeech package for blind folks. It's subject to individual taste and one's actual practices, as for instance in my case reading fast and understanding everything.
