I do mostly SMD and have been using

Kester 24-6337-6422 	15mil diameter solder, SN63PB37, water soluble flux
and Kester 2331-ZX 	 Water Soluble Flux Pen.

I use Multicore Hydro-X,  .032in  .81mm.  This works great. It is thin and I can can control 
the amount of solder I use better. I am concerned about the lead content but that 
combined with the Crystal no-clean as a partner covers nearly all of my needs.  I also use 
Vampire p#S04 4% silver solder for high end cables and other voodoo items.  

I feel these are good choices but the environmental aspect troubles me, I have also arrived 
at these choices myself and would be interested if anyone disagrees or has a better 
suggestion
