Still using Stans here with no complaints. I just order a bulk pack of valve cores and replace them when they get snotted up.
@Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST has some of those fancy new valves, but I’m not sure what they’re about.

Just pick up a kit to try along with valves and tape. Thinking to grab their darts as well

No personal experience with muc off but I have heard their tape is nearly impossible to remove cleanly when the time comes.

Second this, I was about to mention it myself.
I’ve had good luck with Stan’s tape and WTB tape too.
this right here is your answer

Stan’s in all I’ve ever used too and have no reason to use anything else.
Are people still making their own homemade sealant?

Been using Silca sealant on the gravel bike. Will switch when one of the MTB need tires.

I use Peaty's. I always seem to find it on sale when I'm due for a purchase and I've never had a flat. (I also typically ride <100 miles a year so there's that)
I have a set of the Muc-Off high-flow valves sitting on my work bench. Eventually I'll make time to install them...

I've switched over to Orange Seal. Can't really tell the difference between that and Stan's.
I have a pair of the Muc Off Big Bore Hybrids on one of my wheelsets and they're incredible. No more clogging, no more jamming down on the pump when sealant gets near the valve (why would sealant seal a hole???). I'll probably switch over to them on all my wheels eventually.

Don't piss off the red guy
Same here.
I used to try every new sealant that was released and always ended up back on Stan's in the end. Stocked up on Stan's when I closed shop.

Stan's since... 2014... when Stan himself set up my bike for tubeless at Wyndham for the Citizens DH.
For valves, I generally use whatever came with the wheels. I pretty much always add sealant through the valve after the tire has been seated on the rim, so a valve with a removable core is a must. That said, I do really like that Muc-Off valve with the ball valve instead of a core. I see a lot of folks pour sealant into the tire prior to getting it completely on the rim, but that has invariably turned into a mess of sealant everywhere when I've tried to do it that way. So I stick with what works for me.
