Anything beyond AS3 or AS5 is splitting hairs and won't gain you much if anything. Although some types might be easier to clean up than others, but AS3 & AS5 clean up pretty easily with either alcohol or goo-gone.

I switched to AC MX-2. Same or better performance than AS5 but no \"set time\" and way easier application (lower viscosity).
