I own the Asi Wind version and am familiar with many others. I have trouble imagining a better version than his with an ungimmicked deck. If you like to make use of gimmicks decks there are likely some good alternatives. Give us some more info like how you intend to perform it and how much...

Or mention the history of the trick. Reference they past greats who made it famous and acknowledge the long tradition of carrying on the effect and how glad you are that you are able to bring something new to it.

Definitely Expert Card Technique. And Encyclopedia of Card Tricks. Also consider Harry Lorrayne's Close Up Card Magic (available as a PDF from Conjuring Arts). Alternatively, Card College is amazing, but also more $$, especially by the time you get all 5 volumes. But it's more modern and can...

I think card index gimmicks used to be more of a thing than they are now. You will be learning gimmickless card index systems, but if you really want to know all the options it's something else you'll have to look into.

You should just get Encyclopedia of Card Tricks and Practical Mental Magic for this and so many other reasons. I see that Encyclopedia of Card Tricks does have a number of tricks that use some form of an index. There is not a section on indexes nor does he seem teach "an index", but he does...
