As stated, any of these Oils, changed properly, will give as much benefit and protection as any of the others to within the nth degree. Cost therefore becomes a factor, because to pay more for advantages you cannot use means you're not really getting anything for your extra money.

But, people also have their favorites and derive the intangible of simply feeling better about having Brand X vs Brand Y and that's OK, choice makes America great.

Whatever, use any of the several Oils mentioned here (whatever your reasoning for choosing it), and you'll be OK.

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
