Super 88 is awesome stuff, but I use very little of it because of the cost.  I go through cases and cases of super 33+ though.  In my opinion this is the best stuff for the money.

Tartan 1710 is good enough for me. I've used the Super 88 before, but I can't really tell the difference excpet in my bank account

I'm with auex...I'm all about S33. That other stuff is not as flexable.

I use the cheapest stuff around. If I can get a name brand for cheap good any other brand is good too as long as it has UL rating.

I'm with profuse. I go to Harbor Freight Tools and they always have sales with 10 packs for like a $1.99 I actually prefer this cheaper tape over the 3m. For this main reason: I notice that with 3m tape, that if you go to take it off later on down the road, or even have to go back in to splice something else in or something like that, when you untape the wiring it leaves a sticky black tar looking mess. I noticed that the cheap tape from Harbor Frieght does not do this. It comes off very clean, leaves no residue.
