Silicone cloths

Not all silicone cloths are made the same!
i was thinking i need to get a couple new cloths and recalled that i had one brand that i knew i preferred over the rest, but couldn't remember which one. So dug around before cleaning my pistol tonight, got all the different brands i had out and confirmed which one is best for me... Here they are and my comments.
I like best the Kleenbore Silicone Gun & Reel Cloth.
I prefer the yellow color over the grey - shows the dirt more. But this cloth really stands out in it's quality of silicone richness. It just cleans things up and puts down the nicest coating every time, especially on matte metal surfaces.
runner's up are Birchwood Casey Gun & Real Silicone Cloth and the Pro-Shot Silicone Cloth. Really a toss up between the Birchwood and Pro-Shot. both are relatively dry compared to the Kleenbore. They are both larger and come in nice closeable ziplocks, but i don't really even care to use them when the Kleenbore is around. I'll toss these in with my airguns that will require only the lightest of wiping, but further purchases will be the Kleenbore.
Anyone else ever recognized any preferences as to the humble silicone cloth? Any other brands to seek out or to avoid? And does anyone have experience with the Birchwood Casey "SHEATH" product?
