The buckets are likely all sourced from the same place, someone like US Plastics (not for sure but likely). Then a hole is made and a spigot installed. Not rocket science and not a lot of possible variations to make one stand out as better. Pick any one and if the spigot isn't what you like, remove it and install your own.

I still use the one that came with my kit from Midwest Supplies. I always take it apart and soak the spigot and gaskets in PBW after I’ve finished bottling. Never had any leaks. I do have to tilt it to fill the last couple of bottles.

I use spiedel fermenter when I bottled

I did good at keeping the trub in the bucket

I now use it as one of my fermenters, and bottle directly from there. I only bottle 4-5 then keg the rest

Using kettle is cool

I just use an extra fermenting bucket, drilled a hole with a hole saw, and bought a spigot from a homebrew supplier.

Works fine.

Only issue is I have to get it JUST tight enough, and not too tight, so it doesn't leak. I test with water first, to get it tightened properly.
