hi
that largely depend on what you need and reason to potting
ex: for high G protection you need something like epoxy ,that hard and not deform
but have matched Thermal expansion of the PCB and part for avoid stress
or if you need to protect automotive under the hood stuff ,better to use kind of jelly stuff
this will better protect from environment and allow much less stress on extreme thermal clycling
MG. chemical made some potting epoxy stuff and available from mouser
but much better
