Edge paints

[MADMAX22]

So since I started in leather work I have avoided using edge paints. Have always used vegtan for the most part and never needed it since I use a method similar to Hidepounder and have really good results. Now that I am branching out a little with the leather types I use it has become apparent if I want a nice looking edge that I am going to have to start using edge paint on occasion. 

So I have a few bottles of fiebings edge kote I bought when I first started (most arent even open yet). Since then things have changed a little on what is available. There are several different ones on the market now and people seem to be more knowledgeable about applying it. 

Is edge kote any good compared to the others available as long as you follow the process for doing the edges the same (application, heat, sand, application, sand, burnish....)?

How well do the other brands and edge kote hold up if applied properly?

Thanks for the input.
