My descending order:
My tone bender clone - alright, but not great. Seemed to work very well with an amp putting out some serious volume, but was a bit nothing generally. Retired. Output wasn;t that great either so it was max or volume drop.
Big Muff - my longest serving fuzz. Thick, good fuzz. I didn't run it with a large amount of sustain, just volume up a fair bit, tone on middle and sustain on 3, maybe. Retired.
Those settings were to get a particular Narita Munehiro type sound, which works for me nicely.
Aya Tokyo BM70 - one ups the standard big muff, being a rams head muff clone and seeming to just Do It Better. permanent on board
Shin-Ei/Univox Superfuzz - the new one, octave fuzz. Loads of output and as heavy as it gets really. I'm most impressed.
I tend to run quite a bassy overdriven amp anyhow. Run the Aya and the Superfuzz side by side with my Dopefx overdrive and it does the lot.
Interestingly, the wah goes mental when running through the octave fuzz - clearly the two are doing something together to give it a particular sound. That odd wah sound that early Electric Wizard got? Its that. In fact, the superfuzz does the Supercoven sound to a tee.
