Well you definitely want a monotonic, equal-amplitude crossfade, and probably also time symmetry. So I think raised sinc is right out.
In terms of finer design considerations it depends on the time scale. For longer crossfades (>100ms), steady-state considerations apply, and you can design for frequency domain characteristics. I.e., raised cosine, half of your favorite analysis window, etc. But for shorter crossfades (particularly 20ms and below), time domain considerations dominate and you want to minimize the max slope of the crossfade curve. So a linear crossfade is indicated here. Of course linear crossfade is also the cheapest option, so you really need a reason *not* to use it.
