But does the low profile aspect of a mask make it harder to keep clear of fog?, as suggested in the first post?
I'm looking to replace my old "non-pro" snorkling mask (which by the way never fogs up and works great) with a better one and would appreciate the increased visibility, but don't want to have problems.

I tried another Aquaseal product and was very happy with it.
See here for review.

Just curious as to what everyone uses and thinks is best
Your method is more important than what you use.
Start with a dry mask. Apply a small amount of any type of soap (baby shampoo, dish soap, soft soap - doesn't really matter, but don't water it down). Next let it sit for several hours, overnight is good. You want the soap to dry in the mask. Rinse it just before getting into the water.

Oh yes! Defog!
Now that I am fun diving again I have to deal with mask fogging.
My working dives were nearly all in zero vis so fog was not a problem.
I am with Walter, technique is more important then product. I like commercial defoggers over simple spit simply because of the reduced mess. I also sometimes am short of spit right at the time I need to do my mask.

I think that leaving soap on it all night will work but its a little overkill unless its a new mask. I use Sea Drops or Sea Gold and a wet mask doesnt really matter all that much. Usually if my mask is already wet i mix a little spit in with the sea drops and that works great.
For a new mask I will scrub the lens down twice with toothpaste. After that spit is the defog of choice. Works great but I don't recommend it right after eating doritos.
I use Sea Drops, put in mask, wait about five minutes, rinse,
good for a couple dives. It helps to splash water on your face
to cool it, moisture in warm air " inside mask " will condence on a cold surface " lens " like a glass of ice tea in warm air.
