I've used Punch II, Def-Tech First Defense, ASP KeyDefender and Mace Pepper Foam.

The Pepper Foam is good for certain specific applications: it carries better into a headwind and it doesn't form a cloud of OC vapour--which makes it the best alternative for certain enviroments where breathing difficulties must be considered. Hospitals, day-cares, nursing homes, and such.

It is also far easier to miss with Pepper Foam and it requires holding 'on target' much longer to get the same coverage as a burst of spray. Plus, the available amount of OC per can is usually about half for foam as it is for the liquid.

I prefer a 'burst' or 'spray' effect, myself.
