Which one coat finish is best?

When building lighter freshwater rods, just wondering if anyone has a one-coat finish that they prefer the most. I use a lot of Flex-coat high build, but was thinking of check out some others.

Thanks,
Marc

Threadmaster is what I've been using. Both regular and lite.
The oldtimers who have gone through everything out there are more of a mixed group tho. In the end, the 'best' is probably the one you are the most practiced with
