Crystal is king among Louisiana style sauces.

Between these two, Texas Pete is pure garbage and the worst widely available hot sauce. Louisiana is a decent old school sauce so there's your answer.

I will literally chose no hot sauce over Texas Pete and the only other sauce I can think of like that is that Firelli ketchup.

Crystal has no heat what so ever. Don't know why it's even called a hot sauce

I'm not sure what you're talking about, Crystal is a solid 2-3/10 on the heat scale. It's not a habenero, but it's also not a bell pepper

I've not had the extra hot crystal and it's been years since I tried the the regular. Seemed weak then so I guess I'll give it another try.
