In the last 6-8 months I have used the following waxes on my cars (or cars I helped wash):

-Meguiars quik wax (spay) - spray on carnauba wax that does not last long at all. If you put too much on, it is very hard to get off. I do not like this stuff at all
-Meguiars NXT Tech wax (liquid) - this is the normal stuff I use. It goes on/off easily, beads well, give a nice shine. It does not last as long as I would expect a polymer to last. If your car is outside in the heat, this is gone in 2-3 months and maybe sooner. I have heard good things about NXT tech wax 2.0 for better longevity.
-Meguiars NXT tech wax (spray) - I've used this for touch ups and it goes on really quickly. I like so far but have no clue how long it lasts.
-Eagle One nano wax (spray) - I bought this since it doesn't haze and I figured this would be for very quick supplements after a wash. It does not last long at all and I wouldn't buy it again.
-Meguiars carnauba cleaner wax. I haven't used it in a long time so I dont remember much about it. I don't see myself ever using it again so I probably wasn't impressed

The next waxes I plan on buying are Meg's NXT tech wax 2.0 (liquid) and Optimum Car Wax (spray). I have heard many good things about OCW in that is lasts a super long time and does not haze - it might be the best of all worlds.

I would personally lean toward polymer/sythetic waxes instead of carnuaba for the added longevity and ease of application. For synthetic waxes, I don't think it matters one bit if it is paste or liquid. One form or another should not do much for performance - I think reason the wax companies sell synthetic wax in paste form is for personal preference on container and psychological/marketing aspects of paste being better.

I have never used coloed/dyed waxes
