What type of thermonuclear bomb would be far more practical and dangerous than a cobalt bomb and have significant military advantages but is probably too expensive for any country to build?

There is no such thing as a cobalt bomb, such as described in various comic books in the past. The only known (non-classified) thermonuclear bombs are the A-Bomb and the H-Bomb. The H-Bomb is much more powerful and expensive, but several countries already have it.
Actually I'll answer this myself... The Gold-Bomb. Replacing about 1 ton of Uranium tamper on the secondary with 1 ton of gold would produce a very practical "salted" high contamination bomb. but the gold is probably too expensive for anyone to try it. The cobalt bomb is impractical because cobalt's capture crosssection is too small for high energy fusion neutrons. See Chuck Hansen's "Swords of Armageddon" Volume V for details.
