There really is no such thing as "best" dragon for the Colosseum. I generally go with either a Primary or a hybrid of the event's element. I generally receive Gold. On the rare occasion I have gotten both Gold and Silver with the same dragon in the same element event (i.e. I have gotten Gold with Plant during the Plant event but have also, on occasion, gotten Silver with Plant during a Plant event).

Using a dragon with the element of the event does stand a greater chance of getting Gold, but does not guarantee Gold every time... nor does the dragon's earn rate have anything to do with placement. As Andy said, there is a link to the dragons' earn rates (which can also be found on the individual dragon pages) for players who would like to calculate how much cash a particular dragon earns in a 24-hour period. But earn rates don't determine the "best" dragon for an event... since the outcome can be random at times.
