Favorite sealant?

What is your favorite sealant/caulking for use on the roof penetrations of the Interstate? I see Dicor often mentioned in RV how-to videos. Good?

I have used Vulkem with success. As best as I can tell, both Dicor and Vulkem are both single-component sealers with similar characteristics.

I used the Sikaflex 221 on my solar upgrade. It is messy to work with, but seems to seal well.

Sika 221 and for self leveling applications Alpha One. ( recommended by Lewster). Worked great!
