CHEM-WIK: not good enough
DRI-WICK: better than CHEM-WIK acceptable but nothing to rave
about....

My guess is that the amount of flux is what determines effectiveness.

Any preferances?

I don't use solder-wick for anything. I have had a small roll in my toolbox
for years and the next time I see it I am throwing it out. A Solda-
pullt/Soldersucker is all I use. Works great for everything from hand wired
tube circuitry to multilayer plated thru boards.
