Default Which octane booster.?

Hi all, In anticipation of my Type-R that's on its way from Japan. I was wondering which octane booster would be best to use in it until its re-mapped?
Also where should I buy it from ?

Cheers

I just used millers octane booster / some times use one shot octane booster treats 60 litres safe with cats before I had the 05 Jdm Sti wide track remapped
Millers cvl turbo treats 20 litres read it on the bottle so you would need 3 bottles if 60 litre tank
Never used nf octane booster not sure if its alright to use on a catted motor
The spark plugs using the millers has a orangey/red colour when removed

NF from ASPerformance. They do a 5 bottle deal. It's not cheap but for everyday use, one bottle goes a long way (1:1000 ratio for small effect and valve seat protection, 1:500 for reasonable octane increase)
Millers tends to have a shelf life and is recommended to use within a year (who knows how long it's been on the shelf before you buy it!) No mention of such with the NF
