I am not sure how familiar you are with all the variants but that would likely depend upon which Celox.
UK, Germany and Spain are using Celox that tested highest at the ONR (over CG). The Celox variant that was sold in the US earlier by Sam Medical under-performedv against CG. Both were tested in the ONR study. I don't think the EU ever had much of it. It was intended more for burns.
I will see if I can get a PDF of the ONR study and post it. In the meantime, here is a briefing from MHSRS (the conference formerly known at ATACCC) that summarizes the findings from this and other studies.
I hope this helps explain PiterM's choice. Also of note, I think you will find most SOF units carry ChitoGauze or Celox in their kits. Each did their own testing to confirm their selection.
