Ditto, I only use white tape presently.  They all feel about the same.  I use Ebonite and have used Storm, Brunswick, AMF.  Ebonite is cheapest.

Now black tape, there were some differences.  AMF was the best black tape.  Pretty thin and stuck well.  Other company's tape seem thicker, wouldn't bend right.  Also, didn't seem to stick very well.

All White Tapes are not the same....

Here is the difference between the surface texture of White Tapes

Coarest Texture...............Master & AMF

Less Coarsesr Texture....Brunswick & Ebonite

Smoothest Texture.........Columbia & Storm

I cannot say much about Black Tape as I seldom use it, but when I do use it, I use AMF as it seems to be the most flexable and stick the best. For me, the worse is Ebonite as it is thicker and doesn't stick well and I have had it fall out of the thumb hole somewhere betwen the time I threw my ball and got it back off the ball return.
