Redgard or Hydro Ban?

[rjwz28]

Which liquid membrane do you prefer and why?

Thanks,

I've read they are both good products. I've only used Red Guard once, availability was the reason for the choice. My go to is normally a sheet membrane or a board product. Time is the reason for going to the board products (Wedi or Kerdi board).

Haven't used any, guys have told me they are good but I'm leery. I don't use anything that makes me worry about a call back. When needed I install Schluter or Noble membranes. Durock or Densarmor are good wall boards.
I realize the whole water proofing membrane thing is huge now. I'm big on using the right products and installations. However, unless you are talking about specific water heavy installations a lot of this is overblown hype to sell product. Regular shower use normal installation; Steam shower obviously you'd want membrane.

Hydro ban, that's what my supplier has in stock, and I've never had a problem with it. 
Easy application with a paint roller, no fumes that I recall, decent coverage.
Dries fairly quickly.
I'm a happy guy !
