You are not going to get the answer you want. :)
It depends...
I annoy myself just saying that but it is true.
We dont know what level your troops are and your heroes level. I will explain my ideas based on my levels then you can adapt it to where you are at. It also depends which type of base you are attacking.
I have all max troops for th9, even max valks. But my heroes are lagging behind, they are only level 10ish. I have found the low level heroes make me fail and when it happens it goes from 3 star to 1 star quick. I hate this soo much that I have stopped trying to get a 3 star. I know this is sad but my clan needs me to get 2 for sure and 3 is great. One star ruins things for my clan our wars are always close and they can't clean up after me.
So I have found Gowiwi with loons and or hogs on the back end give me a chance at 3 star if I do it perfect. If I mess up or my heroes were too weak for the base I always get 2. Since I have max valks I have a few other choices depending on the type of base I face. I wont go into those there is a huge valk strat thread on this forum already. And if I see a weak base that can be lavalooned I will clearly do that but if it is well upgraded and xbows are set to air I stick with the Gowiwi mixing in hogs loons and valks. Seems to work for me.
Edit to add...
Getting a lv5 golem in your war cc is a huge advantage to making this work vs hard opponents. And I almost always use 3 golems total sometimes just two if you need more hogs and loons on the backend.
Most th9's are three starred by GoHo variations in our clan.
All th9s can usually be 3 starred by a hog variant (holo, goho, surgical hogs,...) or CB/shattered laloon
IMHO the best strategy to 3 stars a TH 9 would be Lavaloon or Golem-Hog strategy.
Here is a tutorial of Lavaloon strategy that I found in the net, complete with Video.

Penta LaLoon, CB LaLoon, and GoWiWiPe with backside Looms seem to be some of the best attacks I've seen imo
Elite clans all use variants of goho or laloon to 3 star. If you don't know what cold blooded, shattered, or stoned means then you need to hit up YouTube. One hives channel is amazing.
Pent hound is (or should be dead)
Hogs are dominate right now (surgical is just a style of deployment btw) but I'm still a fan of shattered LalOon. My favorite attacks though are valk hybrids. I love being able to do a VaLoon, VaHoLo, or VaHo...I played around with HGH and valk/LaLOon but wasn't thrilled with either
Penta is still alive and well, just not as easy as it used to be. You have to be a little pickier when choosing bases, but it's less complicated to pull off than the CB/shattered variants.
Each base will be weaker to various builds but in my experience the most solid and consistent build is hogowiwi runing 1 rage 3 heals. I rate this higher than golaloon becos it can cover a wider selection of base designs.
as the number #1 in my clan, my mirror is usually a max th9 def.
and mhm; my opponents usually uses an internet base where i can just find the exact one on youtube (takes patience) and exploit it as i know where the traps are..
most of the time i use base exploits like GoWiWi with more wizzies or LoGoWiPe, but my HoGoWiWi comp:
cc: 2 witch 1 wiz 2 barb
usual comp
cc lure:
2 giants to lure cc
killsquad:
1 golem (never faced a centralized AQ)
4 wiz
4 wbs (depends on base, some requires no wb at all some requires ~6)
main force:
27 hogs
cleanup:
rest of wizzies
high level heroes helps alot.
1) lure cc, draw them to your attack point (aq kill side) with 1 archer (if not possible; just deploy golems straight where you gonna kill AQ), release cc witch + 4 wiz, heroes and wb if needed. by this time enemy cc should be dead and enemy aq is being killed.
2) i deploy hogs near ks side (guaranteed 2 stars even if you fail putting heal spells for your hogs) with either asian walls deploying style or just 2 fingers.
3) i deploy heal spells whenever my hogs face a giant bomb or taking much damage.
4) one defenses are cleared out, i deploy cleanup wiz 1/side (1 north east, 1 north west, 1 south east, 1 south west).
usually your BK will die on AQ kill but your AQ should survive the rest of the raid..
I appreciate your time writing that out, I'll give it a go as GoWiPe tends to give me 2 stars with an occasional 3 star.
I suppose it would still work against lowbie 9s but any 9 with a queen in her teens will wreck pents day (assuming good layout), those pups just don't swarm anymore :/. Imho it's just a bad attack to learn, it can lead to the development of poor attacking habits (just like dragons). To many people became dependent on the spray and pray LaLoon method.
You're right, the pup agro range just isn't what it used to be. Your loons are more likely to kill the Queen more than anything, depending on their pathing. If she camps anywhere near a core defense she'll get taken out by the splash damage.
FWIW I tried to get Dart's thoughts on this issue by sending him a PM a while back but he hasn't been active on the forums for a few weeks. I think he's starting to favor surgical hogs as of late...
The build they use consist of x3 golems, rage helps them not lure and kill cc troops fast whilst raging the second line of wbs.
One golem mass hogs is also good until u meet a central Q as already mentioned and also weaker vs very wide spaced out bases which the other build does not suffer from.
I think people are moving away from the name GoHo and getting more technical like CB/Shattered/Stoned Surigical/Two fingered/Asian Hog So ila stoned surgical hog would be 3 golem KS hog raid using surgical deployment. Cb Asian Hogs would be 1 Golem hog raid using the Asian wall deployment. Etc
to answer the OP. Right now with the current state of te game id say a good hogger can take any th9. I still prefer LaLoons but any base can pretty much be hogged (look at BL and RT...they are melting face with hogs now)
