AE but for the worst reason, it's what I have virtually always used.

Never had any reason to change, although the new bottles are a step backwards IMHO.

I bought a job lot of 10wt & 20wt oil from a manufacturer of MTB shocks.
I mixed it together to make 30wt.
It seems OK, maybe a little thinner than normal 30wt, but it was cheap and I have 7 litres of it.

The great thing about that oil is that you can get almost any weight you want just from the two basic oils.

If you start with the 20wt, but add an equal amount of 20wt - you get 40wt. Add the 10wt again and you've got 50wt!

And like you said, it is awesome value and will last a lifetime.

Losi oils for me, due to me trusting the weight being right for my understanding, as AE oil seems softer marginally. Losi bottle size is ideal - compared to Schumacher for example, and I don't understand the conversion to CST from WT.
