I'm predicting that this will be split 50-50 between the Brits and the Americans across the pond. I myself have always enjoyed pudding or cake batter or something with a similar consistency as a gunging element, as opposed to the translucent "gunge" you can buy and seems to be common in British gunge tanks. Both are great, but if you had to choose, which one would you pick?
Cake batter, but honestly, just because of ease. You can control the amount, the colour and the consistency without much fuss. The perfect slime solution!

With enough paint / colouring, natrasol can go pretty opaque
If someone knows where to get the amount of cake batter they use in the US in the UK for a reasonably price, then I would definitely use more cake batter
American here, and definitely partial to cake batter. You can mix in things like oatmeal flakes to turn it into "chunky slime" or make it velevet-y smooth, to your liking.
I'm American and grew up with green slime. When I was younger, I was more tolerant of cake batter (although cream of wheat was what I really wanted), and I thought cellulose/gel type "gunge" was off putting. As I've gotten older, I've really come to appreciate it and now it's my preferred messy substance. When it's too thin, it's visually underwhelming and when it's too opaque, it just looks like paint, but when it's thick and gooey and a little translucent, I absolutely love it. I am still partial to radioactive green, though.
Aside from the pure visuals, I also like that it's safe for penetration. It doesn't taste good, but its not horrible, just enough to add a safe bit of 'ick' factor to the unlucky victim's punishment.
I'm American, and I prefer Natrasol - the texture is something else, and it is so easy to clean up! I wish it was a bit more readily available over here...

That's why we have custard, though with Tesco having withdrawn their value version it's not as cheap as once was.

Packets are a very expensive way to do it. You can make gallons of it yourself relatively cheaply with the raw ingredients. I think people are a bit wary of using flour from scratch, but using it with respectful confidence opens up a world of messy possibilities.
When I was making a lot of videos I bought a food mixer and left it mixing batches of it while I did the setting up. I also used it to whip large quantities of cream for pies. At times, I also used a drill mixer for very large quantities but it kind of ties you up to that task.
The golden rule is the one used in baking - equal parts of the key ingredients:
plain flour/margarine/eggs.
Add your dye or powder paint at this stage. Add sugar, if you want. Mix this into a batch of heavy paste (which takes just a few minutes) you then move these to buckets and dilute them with water/add more paint/oatmeat etc.
My go to ingredients were Morrison/Tesco basic Plain Flour and Stork SB baking margarine (available in 3kg tubs). I was more "ethical" with my choice of eggs, at extra cost, but you can get very cheap ones there. Also 3-9kg tubs of powder paint (Ocaldo) available online.
As an aside, gunge is very cheap per volume but you can indeed make it both opaque and lumpy by adding large amounts of powder paint and oatmeal.

Thank you so much for sharing! Yes, it's the raw flour element that is worrying for the hair. Maybe we'll try and mix some!
Love you, too
