Most options are going to give you a chance of Forge, but there are several that won't risk the other 48 hours (Sun, Moon, Rainbow). As Long42 said, using Lightning is an option. I'm using Forge and Plant, since it has a few more "failures" but they are Poison (30 minutes) and Flower (1 hour).

The breeding sandbox is fun to play around in; it gives you outcomes and suggestions so you can play around and figure out things that work best for you: http://www.2084.org/dragonvale/breeding-sandbox/
