Hi Guys
If you think the Amazon reviews are questionable, then know for sure that ebay reviews are distinctly biased and planted !!
Solder should be leaded. DO NOT use lead-free solder as you will never know if the connection is good without a low-resistance meter, and the carbon footprint of it is huge. Best to use eutectic solder, which is 63-37 mix. This skips the plastic state and goes right from solid to liquid, saving some heating time and potentially saving some components from over-heating.I use 0.8mm Kester 245-series solder. The rosin dries clear.
NEVER use flux removers. Wait until the rosin is hard and chip it off if you want a cleaner look.
NEVER use water-soluble flux solders.
Leaded solder is still used and approved and REQUIRED in many classes of equipment: high reliability, medical use, military, satellites, aviation.
