Cotton Bacon can be a bit pesky to get an amount off ready for use.
Muji, well, got a few packets from that dashing white sergeant @stealthvape which always seems lovely to use.
And ain't heard of teh 'Gold' Stuff you speak of.
My taste buds ain't educated enough to notice the difference, so wicking for me is down to price and availability. As long as it comes in pads I'm fairly happy.
I'm sure others can do a taste test and will regale with tales of how sumptuous certain cottons can be.
I'd stick with the Muji, until you get some free samples of other kit and see if it is any better for you.

I was a hard core cotton bacon v2 fan for a very long time. used the others mentioned as well but, i now have started using native wick premium blend and haven't gone back since!
Muji - its good but i just find that is leaves a certain taste and takes a while to "bed in" and that it does not seem to wick as fast as the others.
Catton bacon v2 and Kendo gold it is hard to find much of a difference with apart from i find the kendo gold to be a lot more fragile that cotton bacon but both preform amazing. I still always get a bit of a cotton taste on the first few pulls though.
But that is just my opinions everyone's tastes are different. Try a few sample packs of stuff and just experiment till you find the right thing for you mate.

Hmmm ... not bad.
The reason I say cost is that some wicking material seems a bit expensive for the amount you get. I bought about a cubic foot (500 pads) of Muji last year for about £6, and I'm still grinding my way through it. Yes it does have a flavour for about 5 pulls, but after that it tasteless to me

I often swap between muji, cotton bacon v2, VRC Native and Puff pads and I have to say there's little noticeable difference between the lot of them in my opinion. Both muji and Puff are easy to work with as they're easily cut to size. With the bacon and VRC it's can be a bit of a pain getting the right thickness or equal amounts if wicking dual coils. Agree with the comments about pads having a taste to them, but after a bit that disappears and its a small price to pay for the convenience and ease of use
