    good propellants for airstarts/ upper stage ignition

    After a not so good experience with CTI Blue streak, was just thinking which propellants people are using for upper stages? I'm thinking of ease of ignition, etc. FWIW- i'm looking at doing a long burn sustainer motor at MWP this weekend. Trying to decide between the AT H45W or the CTI I55...
