As has been talked about on this list, El Yucateco is a classic. I've loved
it for years- it may very well (sad to say, I don't remember) be the first
habanero hot sauce I ever tasted. The electric green color of that variety
is fun just for the unnaturalness of it. There's also the red and the
"Aztec" variety, which doesn't seem to have any artificial color but lacks
none of the fire of its brighter siblings. 

I came across Mezzetta's here in Madison about a year ago, when the
supermarket by work, long devoid of habanero hot sauces (can you believe,
they dropped Melinda's for Tabasco Jalapeno? Yes, you probably can...)
carried it for a short time. Not one of the great hot sauces, but
definitely an improving influence on supermarket freezer-case lunches. 

Just my 2 cents.
