The 100% meth vs water/meth debate

I have been spending some time researching this and the only conclusive thing I have came up with is no one will ever agree on one being better than the other. The reason behind that seems to be due to the fact that different platforms respond differently to meth or water injection. There are also different goals, do you need the meth as fuel, do you need to cool IAT's, are you NA or FI, the list goes on.

Applying this to our platform it seems 100% meth would make the most power, if so how much more? We do in fact need the meth for more fueling so that would be one supporting fact in the argument that 100% is the way to go. On the other hand maybe some water in the mixture would clean the engine better? In the end, for me its what is safe and reliable, and what makes the most power. Maybe someone has done it but I have not been able to find back to back testing on the EB with 100% vs 50/50. I know this topic has been talked about quite a bit but much like all the other sites I have found little in the form of a definitive answer on the EB. What have we been hearing from our tuners?

Anyone care to kick this one around again? By no means do I want to start an argument, I just want to make the best choice for myself up front and not have to do things twice.

Thanks,

If you have not already, think about ACES IV.  This product is primarily used in your gas tank to boost (he'll try to convince you the product really acts as a catalyst) your fuel octane.  However, it is also worth mentioning that he makes an ACES product for use in meth tank as well, that allows for meth to do its job at cooling the air, but takes away some of the corrosive negative properties of meth.
