I use whatever is available. Normally everbuild I think it is. I find the expensive stuff is no better to be honest.
that plumbers gold stuff is good, but it goes off quick in the tube as you see your £7 wasted :|

Top tip
I keep old nozzles that have silicone set and dried in them.
Stick one of them on your opened tube of plumbers gold and it stays good much longer!
