Might not sound interesting - or maybe it isn't even a "hot sauce", but since it's like, the only I know, schezwan.

Current favorites are The Seventh Reaper and Heartbeat Scorpion. Tasty and hot but not stupid hot.
Oh and in the milder end: Dirty Dick’s Hot Pepper Sauce With a Tropical Twist

Crystal hot sauce is my goto. Tangy and just the right amount of heat to casually throw on anything if you don't want to go into battle mode. Frank's come close. Surprised that I'm the only one mentioning Crystal.
Secret Aardvark I think would be my second goto if you aren't looking for a hot sauce with the acidity of Crystal, Tabasco, Frank's, etc.
Aw yeah Crystal is so good. I'm not in the US so it's hard to get for me but I agree, it's basically a sauce for everything.

I go for salsas and chunky condiments (e.g. black bean chilli crisp, hot Indian chutneys) than just a liquid hot sauce, even then it's sriracha.

A nice beef gravy. Delicious.
haha I think they meant chilli hot instead of temperature hot, but I can't say no to a nice gravy.

There's this belizean hot sauce called Marie Sharp's, I get the gold one. Doesn't sting me at all, my family can't handle heat, but it does the job well enough.
My favourite however is Salsa Macha. Can't get dried pepper where I'm at though, or I'd make it myself. Goes great with just about anything, even compound butter slathered bbq steaks.

I also make my own. I've tried a lot of different peppers and random ingredients. I think my favorite was a mango habanero (fermented with mango and some other goodies, also added some fresh mango at the end before blending and pasteurizing). I also made a few fun fermented sauces with those dried chilies you can get in bags from the grocery store, added some fresh ingredients like carrot and onion to get the ferment going.

My store bought favorites are chili garlic Cholula and the green tabasco. I also make my own (commented on another reply about what)

Not sure it counts as hot sauce but a chili oil like Lao Gan Ma is my favourite. Otherwise when I do use hot sauce my favourites are Hot Ones Los Calientes Rojo, Tabasco Chipotle, and Secret Aardvark.
that absolutely counts

El Yucateco - all of their habanero-based sauces are good. I had the black label one recently and feel like I've discovered a new favorite.
Kill Sauce - limited selection but really unique sauces with complex flavor profiles to balance the heat. The Habanero is exemplary, but the Carolina and Ghost versions are the pinnacle, IMO.

My own sauce because it's not cooked, without vinegar and hotter.
