You get into the long deployments to some of the really out of the way places and it pays to have similar fuel type stoves made by companies that sell world wide. Fuel for a multi fuel type stove can be found just about anywhere.
Back in my day the big fight was over grasshoppers (propane) and the butane crowd. The white gas (pre-heat with paste & non-pre heat) crowd was a far third.

We just used the MSRs, especially the old XGK.
That thing would burn anything flammable, from Jack Daniel to diesel fuel. It just sounded like a B747 on takeoff when it was at full power.
