More important than brand or oil/water is whether it's solid white or
chunk light. I only buy solid white... chunk light is too much like
cat food, cheap cat food. I prefer oil pack but it's becoming more
difficult to find so I settle for water pack most of the time. I find
Bumble Bee and Star Kist to be the same, in fact the store brands are
just as good (likely the same cannery). Personally I don't see the
point to squeezing out every last drop of oil because then most folks
just add twice the mayo. I find the water pack saltier than oil
pack. Obviously the canners are cutting back on oil pack because
water is cheaper.
