Homemade, every time.
Seriously, I can't remember the last time I bought hot sauce. It must have been the early '80s.
Get one of those ketchup squirt bottles like you see at Mom'n'Pop restaurants (found for a dollar at the big box stores); put in a couple of tablespoons of ketchup, a few tablespoons of vinegar, a shitload of cayenne or similar pepper, and whatever other spicy goodness that tickles your fancy. Shake it up really well and then add water to adjust consistency. Let it sit in the fridge for a week or two to let the vinegar react with the pepper.
You can make up a liter of kickass hot sauce for about half what you would spend on a small bottle. Plus, you can add your own personal ingredients to personalize it (I add about a half tablespoon brown sugar, for example).
