I'm using Uncle Scotty's Cocktail...just put it in about a month ago. Prior to that I had always run OEM gear oil. The Uncle Scotty's was a slight improvement, but I've never had any issues with my transmission. Even with the Uncle Scotty's, I still have to try a few times to get into Reverse sometimes, buth that's typical. It does seem I can shift into First while doing 20mph without double clutching without issue now...not that I ever tried it on the OEM stuff.

I'm planning on doing 100% lightweight shockproof next time, or maybe go back to OEM.
