I use LPS-3 for a rust inhibitor on my stock of raw tubes. Can't say it smells too bad, but I'm a shop lifer and my sense of smell has suffered over the years. For frame internals I prefer Frame Saver as it claims to coat the tube insides via the vapor when it's just sprayed in, and not just the liquid part. I still reposition the freshly sprayed frame all kinds of ways right after spraying, not wanting to rely on the vapors only.
But I suspect this is much like what chain lube is "best". The obvious answer is the lube (rust inhibitor) you're willing to use as needed. Andy
