Very good stuff! I have been using multiple kinds Sriacha for years. I use a good abount of it in my grilled wings that Jonkranked likes to hord.
This stuff in waaaayyy better than the sriacha squirt sauce:
I probably have 15+ kinds of hot sauce in my fridge right now. I'm not a fan of the crazy burn the $hit out of your mouth stuff. Sriacha, regular Tabasco and franks extra hot are enough for me.
I put frank's on everything, it's pretty comical. It's got better depth of flavor than tabasco, but that's great on eggs and pizza too. I have a bunch of hot sauces in the fridge, prefer the vinegar based ones because most of the habanero/paste style sauces are extremely hot and don't spread well...ie better in chilis or soup than they would be on eggs or pizza or whatever.
One of my favorites is Grace hot sauce, as mentioned in the other thread. Lots of heat, reasonable flavor, and it's like a buck at most places. Cholulas another great one.
Blair’s After Death is the quintessential hot sauce. Perfect heat blended with perfect taste. No true chili-head should be without this in their fridge. From the trademark skull to the contents inside this is truly a benchmark sauce.
...
Pure Death Sauce - I would highly recommend this sauce to any chilihead (new or old) and to the HSB regulars, I recommend you buy it by the case.
-Blair's Sudden Death Sauce won 2nd Place at the 2002 Chile Pepper Magazine Fiery Food Challenge.
-Blair's Original Death Sauce received the Golden Chili Award Best Overall Hot Sauce.
Extracts and extract based super heat products aren't that good though and I've never tried them myself:

I came to Blair’s Mega Death expecting fantastic heat and not much more, and I got what I expected. The heat was as advertised - intense. The flavor was, well, extract. I find the tomato based sauces offer more in the way of flavor, but the pure pepper base offers a more unadulterated heat. Not that I’ll be using it for a flavor enhancer, anyhow. It’s purely a capsaicin rush in a bottle.
There are a few Zakk/Blair collaboration sauces too, but I've never had them. My EE GERD prevents me from eating a lot of the foods I use to like including salsa and hot sauces -

Franks is great.... one of the best hotwing Sauces out there... Nothing like frying up some wings, and doucing them with franks... Cant agree more with your comparission to tabasco, although the habenaro Tabasco is pretty good
This is far and away my favorite hot sauce. I kind of doubt it gets exported to the States, but they import it in Oz. Brought some home in December and it was a hit, even among my not-so-heat-accustomed family and friends. Bonus: it is lower on the preservatives than Sriracha's offerings (and the taste reflects that). Plenty hot, good garlic flavor, and a tiny bit sweet and sour.

If there are any Asian markets in your area, you might be able to find it or something similar. They are usually tiny little stores off the beaten path and jam packed with weird things. Ask the clerk for a sambal, they are Thai chili condiments that are often heavy on the garlic.
hahaha... Sometime shortly after that post, I upped my game to Habenero sauce. After burning off my face, the 'fire' involved blood, I **** you not. Apparently, I was reducing my small intestine into pulp with hot sauces. I've been put on a no spicy until green tabasco is hot for me again. I'm almost there...

When my GF (who's Vietnamese) and I were first dating, she went and made both of us sandwiches one day, then without really thinking about it put a whole bunch of Sriracha in 'em, then was really worried my honkey ass would think it was too hot.
