    I had this problem myself. There is ways of saying i should but not should i as a question easily found on websites and books.

    But to put it as a question is impossible to find and not thought much in schools.

    I found the answer before but I have not used it again and have forgotten it. I will also be looking forward to an asnwer to this.

    Not expert here but I would say 'An ceart dom?'. (Usually would be an urú after An but it sounds funny here).
    Ar chóir dom sounds fine as well.

    Is it best? An é is fearr é? For awkward ones like this I usually take the long way around and say something like 'An é sin an tslí/rud/whatever is fearr??'

    Ar cheart dom / Ar chóir dom

    Either of those are fine.

    'Ar chóir ... ?' would seem useable for 'is it best?' in the context of how 'is it best' is normally used.

    ''ar chóir dom an aiste a scriobh le...... ''

    would that be right?
