I've used them both, and I like honey. Now, with that out of the way... A lot of people like the Karo Light because it is clear, and it is easier to spot contams. DON'T get Karo Dark. It's like trying to see through mud. Honey has the benefit of actually having antibacterial properties and can fight off some bacterial contams through plasmolysis. It's pretty much a preferrence thing. Karo's composition is more consistent, whereas honey has more nutes (38% Fructose, 31% Glucose). Honey can have residual spores from floral sources, but if your PCing, it doesn't really matter. The best (and not on your list) is probably a malt/dextrose mix. Honey/karo's simple and cheap. Shit man, now I'm confused. :weirdeyes:
