Default Injector cleaner

As a general maintenance item, what fuel injector cleaner do you guys use? And how often? When I had my LT1 Z28, I used STP or Valvoline or Redline (when I discovered it), usually every 2,500-3,000 miles. What's the best?
Do any particular brands have adverse side effects - e.g., not good for the O2 sensors, etc.? Engineers chime in, if you're out there.
Thanks for any advice.

Anybody?
Maybe I should move this to General Discussion?

I use BG44 and/or BG Injector cleaner every 5K miles. I use 3M pressurized fuel injector cleaner through the fuel rail every 30K miles and top engine cleaner every 60K. Just a little preventative maintenance. Hope this helps.
