Poll: Which is best - Irish Moss, Protofloc, Whirlfloc

I've been using IM to date, but noticed other peeps brewday photos of the wort are way clearer than mine.
Guess to some extent, it doesnt matter *that* much as it all clears in the end, but do you have a preference and why?

I've recently switched from IM to Protofloc tablets and my cold break/trub are far more pronounced.

thanks chaps, confirmed what I thought really.
was going from graham's book on the recipes side of things, and its his spec I was following.

Not had probs as such with IM, but as I say I've seen better looking pics than my cold breaks.

"None" is best because it's free :)
I brew therefore I ... I .... forget

Whirlfloc/protafloc, the effect on clarity is dramatic

I always used Irish Moss but since I finished my first tub and needed more I just ordered a pack of 50 tablets from Paul (Protofloc's).

Used one for the first time on Sunday night in my Dark Sky Stout, not that I could tell if it was clearer as it was black as black. Very shiny wort though! ;)
