Lauscha makes a yummy clear, and if it works for you, you don't ever want to change. I love my lauscha clear-and the beads I made with the devardi white and semi-opaque white + furnace glass frits have been fine.

I don't tend to use the reds/pink furnace glass with 104 coe glass, though, because I have had horrid luck with those in the past, and I read something here that suggested they didn't have the lead content that some of the other colors do, making them less likely to mix well.

I also tend to lay down a little clear of the same kind I plan to encase with when using reds, yellows, and oranges as a base-for one it stretches the usually more expensive "hot" colors in the moretti line, and two, because some of those tend to not like to be encased unless you do this.
