Quick masking fluid question

It`s always a hard thing to tell somebody what`s "the best" of something. It depends on your personal workflow, skills, preferences and so on.
Nevertheless a lot of people use "Humbrol Maskol" and seem to be quite happy with it.
 
ive used both Windsor and newton (with a drop of liquid acrylic for color) and Humbrol maskol. I like them both, but i prefer the Maskol ..i feel it flows just a touchbetter than the W&N. But both have worked out well for me.
 
I agree with Vorhees. I think Maskol is the better option in my opinion but sometimes(at least in my case) it is quicker to run to Hobby Lobby to pick up some W&N instead of having to order Maskol online. Hmmm... Maybe I should just order a few extra next time.
 
I like Grafix brand. It's much thicker then the windser and Newton...with added watercolor added. It's consistency is better then the rest. You can thin it if needed where the others you can't thicken up. Soooo that's my reasoning.

I have used that before but I couldn't remember the name. I liked that also. I can pick it up locally at Hobby Lobby.
 
I bought this no-name brand at the local hobby store for $3 and it didn't mask the paint completely, it bled through. Now I have to sand the bucket and start all over. Anyways, thanks everyone for your suggestions, very much appreciate.
