I primarily use 3, and for different reasons: Cornish G2, Prescription Electronics "Experience", and the Z-Vex FF. I've put these in order of chaos. G2 is thick and creamy but not too glitchy. The tone of God, but you're looking for Satan. The Experience can give you anything from mild tone-thickening fuzz to the thicker Black Keys fuzz to Jack White's tweezed lead tones to downright madness with it's Swell knob. Even though the Cornish is a supposed God of tone, it's the Experience I use the most. I HIGHLY recommend it. There might be a review somewhere - I remember seeing that it won a Guitar Player shootout of some sort.

The Fuzz Factory is kinda gimmicky to me. It's WAY too "glitchy" to the point of fractal mayhem. Better for sound design than guitar tone. And when it's cleaned up I don't care so much for it's basic tone.
