Chain Cleaners or Scrubbers?

I am looking for some comments on various chain cleaning equipment, such as, but not limited to, this example;

Park Tool Website

You can never go wrong with Park Tools stuff.

I have the Park chain cleaner. Use it about once a week and am very happy with it. Works great! I have had issues with quality on some cheaper ones that I have used in the past, but not so far with the Park. I have been using it for about 2 years now.

I also use the Park but when I ran out of Park cleaner I began using Zep Citrus cleaner instead. Works well for me.

I had a Bartollini (I think it was called) and wasn't satisfied. The solvents seem to affect the plastic and the sides were always warping inwards, pinching the brush axels. It also had very narrow "feet" and was top heavy so that no matter how careful I tried to be it always tipped over, spilling the dirty liquid on the floor. Don't buy!
