I use em all.

Wipeout is a fantastic labour saver, foam it in, leave it overnight, a couple patches the next day, and it's pretty darn good...... but..... you need a bore guide, it'll wreck some stock finishes, it'll attack brass or bronze internals(it's supposed to) it really has trouble with stubborn carbon fouling, or the baked on crud that H4831 likes to leave behind(possibly ashpaltines)
Therefore I still keep JB's, Butches, Kroil, Sweets 762, and Barnes CR10 on hand.

Never leave a un protected bore in long term storage, ever, all it takes is pitting or rusting a single chamber, and you'll understand why, because once the corrosion starts it's like a cancer, it seems to always come back on you.

I always take the time to put a fouling round or 6 through a rifle before taking it on a hunt. It verifies zero, and will give you zero issues in the week to 10 days prior to your hunt, which constitutes short term storage.
