Default liquid tire balance

I'm getting ready to stick rims on my bike.I was wondering if any of you guys use any of the liquid balance in your tires thats on the market vs the weights for the rim ?

Years ago I used liquid in a pair of rims.
Worked fine but when it came time to change tires, what a mess.

Went back to rim wheel weights until last year when I put Dynabeads in, work really well for me without any mess.

I am staying with beads. Don't like wheel weights stuck to my chrome rims.

I've been hearing of truckers using anti freeze. When I get new tires next time, I'll be going with dyna beads.

My installer put in Equal tire balancer when he installed my new wheels. They supposedly always keep the tire balanced and reduce road shock. So far I am impressed. Super smooth at all speeds.

I like Dyna Beads... a guy i know runs the "Rideon" liquid balancing stuff and he likes it...It also seals a flat ...makes a mess....
