There are big differences but I can't recommend anything for you. Mostly it depends on what you want at the time. The locals love Aloha shoyu although I think most of the world would pass on it. We like to pour it on stuff like rice and eggs so a lighter, less intense, taste is prefered.

Mostly, I use what's around. What I don't mix up is light and dark soy sauce. The dark stuff is for cooking only, mostly for a deep, rich, color. For poaching chicken, I'd use a mix of light and dark soy sauce. It works great for a whole chicken.
