What is the best brand of duct tape?

I'm talking the usual general applications associated with duct tape
for the home bumpkin. Slap a strip over a cold draft crack, tape a
make-shift grill on a dog's carrier, etc. A duct tape that will
adhere to most any surface, at least for awhile. You know, emergency
temp mending kinda stuff. Maybe even for use in ducts! I once put a
baffle in a heating duct and taped it in place with some cheap generic
duct tape. Prolly lasted about 8 seconds b4 the tape came unstuck and
the baffle dropped. That kinda stuff. Thnx.

I like gaffer's tape and Gorilla Tape. The rest is a crapshoot on what
it is made of, and how long it will last.

I dunno how long gaff tape holds up long term, but the "pro-gaff" stuff
works great short term. I've never trusted it to last longer than a
theater production though
