>I like Sriracha in my stir fry
Bottled garlic is bleh. Once you just switch to chili paste and add fresh garlic, you'll be done with the sriracha. Bottled garlic is as foul as bottled lemon juice, so be careful not to buy the chili w/ garlic.

OP, I'd add Cholula to that collection. It's a different beast, kind of fruity hot tingle. It will enhance some caribbean food, breakfast and meats in a different way. It's not too hot.
Yucateco green is also a fun different one. There's a hot blackish color one they also make that has some smokiness.

>Any suggestion for foods to have with hot sauce
This is preference, really. I like to microwave Goya tamales, and then hit them with a liberal shake of hot sauce. Grits, arepas, sopes, tamal en cazuela is a nice neutral cornmeal base calling for hot sauce like that. Hot sauce works equally well on cornmeal dusted fish, chicken livers, fried green tomatoes, and those southern things like that. I dump hot sauce into the egg wash before dredging my okra, tomatoes, eggplant, and such. It adds a nice vinegar essence too.
