I haven't tried that many hot sauces but I like hot sauces that have a good mix of both heat and flavor. What I prefer depends on what I'm eating, so sometimes I prefer Tapatio and other times I prefer (real) Sriracha. I do also sometimes use other hot sauces like the ghost pepper ranch from Wendy's when I can get them.

Goblin Sauce by Torchbearer, made in collaboration with the band Nekrogoblikon. Jalapeno, pineapple, scorpion pepper. Good solid heat, little fruity. Bought a case of it
My own sauce because it's not cooked, without vinegar and hotter.
Tobasco or a mild cherry hot sauce
Encona hot sauces are some of the most readily available in the UK, reasonably priced, and they generally slap
Whatever nozzle fits in my ass best so I can boof it.
Maritime Madness, Candied Habanero or Lime Cilantro.
Valentina is the only true hot sauce. It makes Chalula taste like dogshit in comparison. That's how perfect it is.
I like both but for different reasons. Valentina is thick and has a very vinegar tang, great if I want a punchier mouthful of sauce like on tacos. Cholula tends to blend in with the food, makes for a more even heat, plus the variety of flavors is awesome.
kinda boring if thats your perfect. To each their own i guees, but i hope you keep trying new ones as time goes by, theres so many varieties they arent all good for the same uses
Some good producers, Queens Majesty, Hot Ones, Heartbeat
Hot ones barbacoa is fantastic, Queens majest Ginger and scotch bonnet is so flavourful, secret Aardvark habenaro is amazing on pizza.
Huy Fong Chili Garlic Sauce. They sell it by the gallon at an Asian market near me and all I can say is I'm tempted.
