I have since tried 3M Platinum (not Platinum Plus), and it was noticeably easier to sand, less pinholes, and between the two I would use it again as my first choice.
I realize there are many options for premium filler and many I have not tried, so others with more experience will have better insight.
One thing to be aware of is that many of the higher end fillers are only available in gallon cans...not sure why, but sucks for us hobbiests as I would have bought quarts of several kinds to see what was best.

We use 3M Platinum, have been for years. I don't care for the Platinum Plus either. I switched from Rage because it would "chunk up" before the gallon was used up. Whatever you use, keep it sealed when not being used.
