FP101 is the one I've been using. Doesn't gum up the sandpaper.
The first one you listed.
Still takes 3-4 coats with sanding in between, but easier to use and overall cheaper and easier to acquire than dope...at least for me.
I block sand with 220, then 400 before a coat of Rustoleum 2x primer to look for any imperfections, then color coats(s). Don't sand all the way back down to bare balsa if you can help it. The 2x colors take a day or two to dry. Wetsand with 400 to 1000 if needed, then final coat.
2x gives a hard, high gloss finish. Best gloss from a rattle can by far.
Dupli Color colors can also be a great choice, but a bit pricey.
