The main brands are all much of a muchness unibond everbuild etc. I would avoid the no nonsense brand some of there stuff can be a bit disappointing.
However much more critical than the brand of sealant is the quality of the seal. Prep the area really well and apply an 8mm or even 10mm bead but use a smoothing tool like a pro for that ‘hotel bath seal’ quality finish. Loads of you tube vids on how to use a smoothing tool. I was doing silicone beads with a steady hand an a wet finger for 15 years until I saw the light and got a smoothing tool - I was converted instantly - total game changer. Beads done with a smoothing tool are way more robust - last years longer even with a lower quality silicone.
