Which of these yeasts would you recommend for a sparkling apple cider?

I just finished a batch of cider using S-04 and it ended at 1.001. I also did a batch with EC-1118 that ended at 0.997. So yes, very slightly sweeter. Finding a yeast that finished at 1.005 or so would be nice. Not sure such a thing exists.

I think there is a definite market for a "cider yeast" that stops between 1.005 and 1.010. I guess it seems like an impossibility, since it is all simple sugars? So many people want something that's sweet and carbonated.

I'm going to try S-04 and Munton's. Munton's has trouble finishing beer, but I think it's because of the malt sugars, so it might take cider down to 0 anyway.

I kind of thought the best flavor came from EC-1118, though.
