Sealant in Tubes Updated Conversation

Hello,
I know this has discussed previously, but quite a few newer sealants have emerged (Silca, Muc-off), so I wanted to renew this conversation.

What sealant have folks had the most success with inside of road tubes?

I run around 90psi in 28mm tires and 80 in 32mm tires. Any larger and I go tubeless. I live in New Mexico, so goatheads are ubiquitous and sealant essential. Still, I'm not comfortable with tubeless at these higher pressures/lower tire volume.

Context: When running tubeless, I run Orange Seal. In tubes, I have used Caffe Latex for the past decade. I'm generally happy with it, often going long stretches between flats. But sometimes I'll have a tiny goathead pricks, plenty of sealant in the tube and no success sealing the leak. I can't tell if there's performance differences between bottles/batches or it's just karma. I'm ready to try other options.

So that's the question: what's your favorite sealant inside road tubes?
