I'm guessing you want to go down the well or enter the tar pit of what's the best compound. I won't go with you but you can read http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/thermal-paste-performance-benchmark,3616.html and hope you don't get more confused.
For me, the top sellers at Amazon are fine. I've used many.
