TPC-A might be the easiest to implement (even if its no longer standard), if you have access to larger pool of client computers, e.g. at an university. The other TPC benchmarks might fit better, but they are difficult to impossible to implement yourself. The (better) alternate might be using your application as a benchmark. But this might show that not the database itself is the bottleneck, but your application framework.
