The best solder for electronics
Psi:
+1 for Kester 67/37 flux type 285 (mildly activated rosin flux classified as Type ROL0)
But it's not the cheapest.
I like having two thicknesses on hand.
Thick - 0.7 or 0.8mm (wires / big parts)
Thin - 0.3 or 0.4 mm (Small SMT)

It's not an "obsession" to have a preference for the superior product, especially when the added cost is truly insignificant.

Felder 62/36/2. Eutectic silver bearing joy that stuff is.

That very much depends on your relative availability..
Pretty much the same solder I use daily: https://uk.farnell.com/multicore-loctite/3096525-m/solder-wire-60-40-180-deg-250g/dp/5090787
A eutectic (not 63/37 because they don't stock it..) equivalent: https://uk.farnell.com/multicore-loctite/dlmp24-250g-reel/solder-wire-lmp-0-56mm-250g/dp/419552
Truly insignificant, merely 50% more for 2% better solder.

I'd say having a clear state transition point is worth more than 2%. :-DD
