What's your solder of choice? (images2.imgbox.com)

I recently came to the realization that I've been kinda punishing myself with cheap no-name solder that is really difficult to work with.

I reluctantly bought this (rather expensive) lead free solder for around $25 and the difference really took me by surprise - it melts and flows so easily!

Kinda got me wondering what everyone else has been using for solder, or what's worked well for you so far at least?

Kester 48 SAC305 or K100LD, depending on the application. If you're not trying for ROHS compliance, the Kester 44 with 66 Core is very good.
