Which type of silver are people tending to use?

I started with some Johnson and Matthey stuff then started getting Sif no39 from Ceeway and that's what I've used for braze ons for a while and I've built 2 lugged frames with it. Seems to do the job but I need to order some more and every time I do I think "I wonder what everyone else uses?".

I use the 56% off ceeway. I like it, Ive been using a bunch of life and a bit of spirit recently, fairly thin stuff, nice to keep the heat down. I only do braze ons anyway so nothing massively load bearing.

Yeah the lower melt point was making me think it might be easier with lugs, tidier shore lines, that kinda thing.

You don't know how much that one is per rod do you? Wondering if the higher silver content makes it a lot more expensive.
