I've been through a number of them over the years. For most jobs anything is better than goop and pad. I especially liked the One-Shot and the Dillon pump bottle. BUT once I tried Imperial I haven't used anything else unless I've got a problem. For what it's worth the Dillon type lube can alos build up enough to dent shoulders.

Along the way I concluded that Mica for lubing the neck is worthless. I use either Imperial or RCBS on a brush and it works fine.

Finally, I still use my RCBS goop and pad on special occasions. There is nothing better for really tough/ugly cases like MilSurp or cases from some autoloaders.
