Huck is the best narrator that could be chosen because he is capable of changing his perspective on slavery. In fact, we know that he does so because at the end he is convinced that Jim is 'white' inside. His perspective is a contrast of innocent and streetwise. Huck is truly 'what you see is what you get'. He does not pretend to be what he is not (except when he is trying to protect Jim).
