Suggestion on Gas additive during storage

It's the time of the year again that my MCS goes on storage until spring. I have used Stabil before but would like to consider other brands if it is better. Any experience to share? Thanks

I try to keep it simple . .

I fill up the gas tank & raise cold tire pressure to 45-50 psi. I clean it well, plug it into a trickle charger, & cover it. Finished!
Either first thing in the season, or last thing before putting it away, I change the oil. Some people recommend changing all the liquids, but I don't do this directly before or after storage, only when needed.

I have been doing this since 2001. I'm sure there's a better way, but this works for me!

Stabil is just fine... Put it in before you store the car so that it gets mixed up real well and CIRCULATED through the system before you park. People store their boat and put in the Stabil after it's put up, that does nothing for the fuel already in the system, it needs to be run through.
