The ones I'd recommend from most to least are:
Mechakoopa (Since you can pair it with other options and it can cover rolls well, and set you up for further damage, it's basically the ideal time to deploy one.).
D-tilt (It's pretty safe, lingers, and can hit ledge-hanging opponents and a few from ledge options. Just be prepared to shield out of this.)
Short-hop d-air (Stand right on the edge and short-hop a d-air, it lingers for a fair while and covers a few options. Can also be paired with the mechakoopa to punish the only real option this doesn't get. -still, I've had people hop back from the ledge and knock me out of this, so be careful.)
Up-special (Covers a lot of space, and you can pressure other options with the hammer on the way down, but it tends to leave you open. Though if they get up and shield it, it can lead to a shield break if you fast fall into a hammer swing.)
Offstage B-air (I tend to only use this with mechakoopas, I deploy one (or if I'm holding it, I z-drop as I jump over) then go offstage and B-air as I return (or if the MK hits, you can go from there since it will knock them offstage!). A bit slow, but can punish people who linger on the ledge and/or quick get-up often.)

I've also had some minor luck with F-smash since it lingers hard, but that's more of just a general read - I find tilting it down at the ledge helps since often you can pressure them into staying there just long enough for the move to catch them with the end of it while they're still on the ledge (-and they can't really jump out of it or they just get hit anyway)!

Having a mecha koopa in hand can help you tremendously. toss it and punish the air Dodge or jump, or if your opponent is hanging on ledge you can run toward the edge, bounce the koopa off the floor, then run off stage for an aerial(for stage spike or force them to get up. The last one is situational but covers a few options.

Ledge trump > ledge hop Nair

For normal getup you're going to have to go for a read with up smash or up B which is safer of you whiff.

For ledge roll you can side B on reaction.

For ledge jump you can fair or just stay under them and punish their landing with up air > Nair (nair hits if they air dodge your up air)

For ledge attack you can do a tipper f smash or perfect sheild > down smash.

For a vulnerable edgehogging opponent, down angled F tilt or F smash; PP down smash or up b.
I rather do low F tilt because is the quickest option.

Conn said this basically already, but doing up b on the edge and leaving the kart there is a great mixup and, at high percentages, even a potent kill option. Depending on how well you place the bomb, it covers getup attack, neutral getup, and sometimes even vulnerable ledge-holding

I get a ridiculous amount of kills by sitting in position and f-smashing either the normal getup or roll getup
That requires a read though. Any opponent well-versed in the Jr. matchup will ledge jump most of the time so fair and upair are the go-to's for that

this hasn't been mentioned probably because it's not that great of an option but throwing out ftilt you predict standard getup can net you some kills if they are at high percent. it has surprisingly good knockback and isn't high risk.
