Frank’s is cayenne pepper based. That is generally my favorite pepper, but it is also easily found in powdered form, and overall can easily add scoville with cayenne taste to any other sauce. Chili powder and Pepperoncini are also widely available in dry form, and layer taste to other sauces/spice without necessarily going over 9000.
It’s not hard to find so you never feel bad about slathering it over anything in copious amounts.
Tastes good, but you can totally gourmand up with it without guilt. Plus, at least in the UK we don’t have the variety that I think folks in the Americas have, Frank’s is, whilst common, not Tabasco, Encona, or Reggae Reggae common.
There is a South American deli near me in Edinburgh that does amazing imported tins of salsa verde but that is literally the only place I can think of to get something non-Franks locally.
Frank’s Red Hot
Cholula
And a great that’s hard to get: Yellow Dragon Lantern Pepper Mash (黄灯笼) from Hainan. Amazing fruity flavour and hotter than hell.

Yep, seconded. For everyday use those two are really good. I’d also suggest Crystal and Louisiana, but I prefer Cholula out of the lot.
I feel basic saying Franks but it’s Franks for me 90% of the time
