I used to keep a collection, until I found ones I liked. Now I have about 8 different types that are best for different foods.
Some are definitely cheap and vinegar (which go great on fried chicken), some are earthy and barely sour for soups.
Overall though, few sauces that aren’t gigantic commercial varieties taste similar. Even Frank’s, crystals, Texas Pete and Louisiana all have distinct flavors

Exactly this! I keep a handful of different sauces for different foods, and I started making my own to fill in the gaps.
