Well what can you really say about chalk...

Chalk is chalk really (and there's only two real choices, the old calcium sulfate or newer magnesium carbonate).

Powdered is not quite as good as liquid chalk which stays on the hands a little longer, however I personally find powdered easier to colour to match your environment (perfect when you want to leave a climb looking pristine for the next group).

Bottom line, it's chalk. They all do the same thing essentially and there's not really any improvements to be found one brand to the next.
