I always get San-J tamari. It's a byproduct of Miso production, and has a richer, smoother flavor than normal ones cut with wheat.

Unironically Kikkoman is the king of soy sauce. Saltlets need not apply.

I've literally never heard of soy sauce that is hot. Most of the time when I use soy sauce it is for something with heat, but that comes from somewhere else.

Dude don't worry, that guy is just retarded. Why the fuck would you have hot soy sauce? That just makes it less versatile. You can always spice things up with something actually meant for spicing it up. If anything the idea of a hot meme soy sauce is reddit-cuck tier.

Amoy and Lee Kum Kee

Kikkoman and Blue Dragon are not great,

Chinese soy sauce is often thick whereas Japanese is often thin. So good idea to check where the brand is from. I forget which but one is mainly for cooking and the other for dipping hence the consistency difference, something like that.

A lot of companies in China use modified soybeans which require a different production method to shorten production time but many companies put too many chemicals in it (used to fasten the process) that the ratio ends up too high which causes cancer.

No mention of Yamasa yet? It's great for normal use but when I can find it at all it's only available in small restaurant sized bottles and it's expensive. The first time I tried it was from a Korean buffet type place that had the little packets as shown sitting in a big box.
