Use the cheapest stuff that doesn't ping. In most locales, the actual fuel itself is absolutely identical the same at all the pumps, regardless of brand; no point in paying extra for something you can get for less. And there's really no point in falling for the oil company sucker advertising, designed to get you to buy the higher-priced stuff, which actually has a lower heat content (fuel value) than regular.
