MX-3.

IC Diamond performs onpar with MX-2. MX-3 beats Shin Etsu, but is not on this chart. I've never used Indigo Extreme, but i'm pretty sure its about the same as MX-3.

Time it takes for the thermal paste to set in and get max cooling efficiency.

TX-3 looks promising.

Good choice. It's the cheapest definitely out of all the options listed. I love the performance of ICD7 but one $7 tube lasts me maybe 4 applications.
The best performer is the Shin Etsu X23-7783D, which if you're interested in you can get here: http://www.petrastechshop.com/shx2thco1gr.html
Though again $8 for 1 gram!

Use a big drop. Follow their instructions, I get the best results that way. Their site is down, but they put a fat glob on there, like 5mm in length.
