Default Seafoam or Stabil?

Getting ready to park the C6 for a few months and I wondered if it would be better to use Seafoam versus Stabil to stabilize the fuel. Have heard different stories at different times. Thanks for any recommendations.

IMO either one is good. Use whichever one is easier to get? Flip a coin? I don't know, you pick. I use Stabil, many here do, others use Seafoam.

One earlier discussion of Seafoam:

I've been using Seafoam for 15+ years and swear by that stuff. It's a mechanic in a bottle sometimes.
