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.

nb

I don't buy the grey stuff anymore. I buy the clear duct tape. It lasts
years outside through Summer and Winter and doesn't delaminate like the
grey stuff leaving a hard glue layer that is almost impossible to remove.
I have used the clear stuff outside and after a couple of years will
peel off leaving almost no glue residue, and what is left is still soft
and can be cleaned off.
I use the 3M/Scotch brand. I don't know about the Duck or Gorilla brands.
