I am a fan of the Esbit tabs. If you crush them up, they will ignite with a spark, if it is a strong spark. They come in at least 3 different sizes and form factors, which makes them more applicable for survival kits.
I also like that fact that they are fairly safe to store; no pressure, no liquids or gasses to leak.
