Huy Fong Sriracha, Red Rooster Louisiana, Tapatío, and Frank’s Red Hot are all great mild-medium sauces that add flavor to just about anything. And they’re cheap!
Dave’s Insanity Sauce
I’ve never tasted one, but I like the story it was banned from the National Fiery Food Show
because of visitors claiming it was to hot.
From the thread:

Why were you banned from Fiery Foods? I’ve always wondered why you guys didn’t have a stand, when Blair’s is prominently featured. I’d love the chance to directly compare your sauces.

Our Insanity Sauce was banned from the show because a guy had a minor respiratory issue requiring medical assistance. Note that he was fine an hour later. We also had a guy pass out for a few seconds after eating Insanity bombs that we were serving.
I don’t think Subway uses the same sauce! I can’t be entirely sure though, but whatever I taste in fast food joints is somehow weird.
Have been cooking for a decade on my own now, maybe that’s why.
What is considered a hot sauce? Any hot, spicy or burning sauce? If so, consider myself of the DIY crowd.
I always have a small jar of dry cayenne pepper at home, like these:
The key here is dry and milled, as it maximizes the power and surface to weight ratios.
Milled a few rounds of this stuff in my coffee grinder and now it's waiting to be dumped, somehow the pepper substance got into the bearings and no @#$% way now.
When milled this way this inexpensive midrange spice kicks ass, and it's easy to mix with whatever sauce.
Trader Joe’s Green Dragon. You can get it at Amazon if you don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you.
It goes great with tamales, tacos, etc… Because it has jalapeños, tomatillos, cilantro, garlic, and habanero pepper powder in it, I find it a lot more flavorful than something like Sriracha.
