Aerostar
For a pressurized twin you can't beat the Aerostar. The duke is definitely a great airplane and is a bit more comfortable and easier to fly but the advatages that come with the Aerostar highly outweigh the disadvantages. The pressurization system that the Aerostar uses is the best in its class as well with the 4.5-5.5 PSI which allows for an 11,000ft cabin at 25,000. This is hard to beat. Additionally the Aerostar is the fastest in it's class and beats the Duke out on almost half the fuel flow.
The 340 is the closest competitor to the Aerostar yet again the 340 is quite a bit slower and burns a lot more fuel. The one benefit to the 340 is that it is more spacious but with how fast the Aerostar is you won't be in it long enough to matter.
