Reichenbach black is very variable, I have good and bad batches, the bad ones boil and it's pricey.

Effetre 064 Black is fine for most things. Intense Black is nice for twisties and for webbing. A good suggestion is to buy IB in stringer because a little goes a long way and you don't generally use large amounts of it.

Older batches of Vetrofond 064 Black are very nice if you can find them. Vetro is a blue-based black and Effetre is a purple-based black.

I like CiM Tuxedo for a basic black, but if you don't use CiM that is out.
