In Wordpress the SEO pack's default is |. What is the best separator as it relates to SEO? Why?

Most of the cases WordPress websites are using default pipe “|” character as a page title separator. You may come to pages where they recommend using one of the three characters; hyphen “-“, comma “,” or pipe “|”.
Title tags are important for SEO because search engines use them to understand the contents of the page. Title tags also influence the user's decision to click on your page in the Search Results. Great page titles promote the contents of the page and incentivize users to click on them.
The page title tag is critical for SEO as it affects how Google's algorithms understand your content and rank your page. Changing your page titles leads to either a positive or negative change in your search engine rankings, visibility, and traffic for your primary target keywords.
I'd personally use the |, mainly because when you type - mysite.com it should be -- mysite.com (I cant type the correct dash here) as it's supposed to be an em dash, not a hyphen. But coding &mdash into a title may cause some issues.
