Didn't want to bog down my intro post with unecessary fluff since I was asking for other opinions anyway but since it looks like people think I didn't do my research and want to be spoonfeed here is my notes:
Carrier Oils & Solvents:
Benzyl Benzoate: I like using Benzyl Benzoate to keep the solution from crashing. It’s been around forever, and it’s in a bunch of legit pharma products, so it’s kind of tried-and-true.
Some UGLs love EO because you can dissolve more hormone in less oil. But I’ve heard EO can be inflammatory for some people, and personally, I’d rather not mess with extra solvents if I don’t need to.
Esthers:
Acetate & Suspension: Super short-acting, can be pretty painful, and you have to pin all the time. Plus, there doesn't seem to be pharma version of this
Propionate: Short half-life (around 2–3 days). Some people like it for faster onset, but I’ve heard it can sting like hell.
Enanthate & Cypionate: These what im leaning towads. They’re usually dosed somewhere around 250 mg/mL, which is nice for low-volume injections. You can pin once or twice a week (or more often if you really want to smooth out levels).
I’m a bit paranoid about keeping my levels steady, so I’m leaning toward more frequent injections—maybe even every day. I've heard helps avoid big spikes and drops, potentially lowering the chance of estrogen-related side effects. That said, a lot of people just pin once or twice a week and do just fine. There’s no hard evidence that infrequent injections are a big problem, aside from maybe some extra aromatization when levels peak.
A shorter ester like propionate gives you a higher percentage of actual testosterone per mg (because the ester itself is lighter). Meanwhile, something like enanthate or cypionate has a heavier ester, so you technically get a little less pure test per mg. In practice, I don’t think it’s a huge deal but something I am considering
I’m Probably Going with Enanthate since It’s super common, easy to find, and often brewed at 250 mg/mL (sometimes more). The half-life is roughly 5–7 days, which is a nice middle ground if you ever want to switch from daily to, say, twice-weekly pins. Less injection pain (usually) than short esters. And as someone who wants daily shots, I don’t need additional PIP drama.
Now here is my list of pharma test products. Which took many hours of searching the internet for

Caster oil is super thick might take 1 or 2 minutes to inject but that'll also means it will have the most stable serum concentrations. I like not having to worry about missing an injection and having a huge crash of hormones.

Natestone - Acures Pharmaceuticals
* Caster oil

Sesame oil contains vitamin E, seimol and sesamin which are antioxidants. Some benefits for joint and skins are also reported. It also has trace amount of minerals such as zinc and calcium which are good for bone health. Though most of that gets removed when it gets refined some people still say they get some benefits so another one I highly consider
Testosterone Enanthate/ Testosterone Cypionate - Actavis Generics / Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc
* Sesame Seed Oil
Xyosted (Testosterone Enanthate) - Antares Pharma, Inc. (USA):

Testosterone Cypionate - Bausch Health Companies Inc.

Testex Prolongatum (Testosterone Cypionate) - Desma Healthcare

All the other Oil formulations from my research are trash: Tea seed, Peach, Arachis, synthethic oils, with an exception of MCT oil but that is off the books for me since I want something that has stable serum concentrations even though I heard that MCT Oil has no PIP
But please let me know how I need to be spoon-fed again. I'd love for you to add more value than a one sentence joke or a reaction image. But I figured that's all you are a capable of providing since dropping a one sentence "I like bayer" or "Arachis Oil gave me too much PIP" was too much for your smooth brains to handle
