Whatever one you get run Mobil 1 and start it at least once a month. Put Stabilizer in the gas can.
Hugh-gas is so crappy nowadays I haven't had much luck with sta-bil. It still goes bad quickly and gums up the carb. What I do on things I store for a while is put Coleman lantern fuel in them. It seems to never go bad. When I get ready to run something I've stored for a while I drain it out and put fresh gas in it. It will fire right up every time. It's only about 55 octane or so. I wouldn't run any engine on it for long.
