After reading on here and other places, I ended up choosing the Wetfire tinder as what I carry as well.

Waterproof, not messy, light, individually packaged, breaks easily into smaller bits, easy to ignite, burns pretty long.

Basically I wanted a waterproof, foolproof option. Typically I carry the tinder, waterproof matches, a Scout Swedish firesteel, and often a lighter as well.

My tests with the Scout firesteel suggest is is easy to light. I like.
