Quest is the Dick's Sporting Goods House brand.
I use cheap-o Canari Gels from Dick's ($50), Pricier Castelli Scorpions and some V02 Max's that I got from the MS150. All work equally well for me. I use Body Glide or Chamois Butt'r for anti-chafing on rides longer than 25 miles and have zero issues.
