Based off what criteria though? Application lenght, friction, chain wear?
odd they didn't test clean ride. Despite the "white lightning sucks" comments, I dont recall the last squeaking chain i had while using it. My guess is some people are applying it before rides, not after. Applying it after gives it time to set up. Once it does, it seems to react just like paraffin wax (the test winner)
regardless, I may try chain-l or rock n roll gold for comparison. White lightning isn't the best lube for long, wet rides.
