What's your go-to for hot sauce?

Cholula is my all-around go-to
White vinegar with hot peppers for greens, green beans, etc.
Texas Pete or Louisiana for chicken and whatnot
Then these two for various other applications

Everything mentioned in this thread is just rank and file compared to the original, one-and-only, Dave's Insanity Sauce.
Back in the 90s this was the only commercial brand hot sauce actually banned from sanctioned hot sauce competitions. The product is still in the market, and has expanded to additional flavors. I've seen one drop off this stuff make a 5 gal pot of chili plenty hot. A 2nd drop ruined it, so hot nobody could get through a spoon.
Maybe they've dumbed it down since those days. I hope so. Otherwise, do not eff with this product. Litterally, it used to be so dangerous, the sauce bottle came with an actual DOT hazmat label to warn the buyer of measured reactivity.

Follow-up to previous . . . here's a link to an eBay user selling a 1995 vintage Dave's Insanity. Nice gift box. These are reasonably collectable. You can scroll thru the pics and see the producer clearly warning to use no more than 1/2 drop at a time, each possessing a heat rating of 300k Scoville units

I’d purchase this bad boy, just for the bottle!The Reaper's Skull sauce
A bowl of grits, homefries, scrambled eggs and fried catfish—and Tabasco on all of it—with special attention to the scrambled eggs. sometimes a side of biscuits and gravy too. one of my favorite breakfasts.
I’ve tried many hot sauces and many are very good, but i always come back to Tabasco.
