If your expensive stuff is TCW-3, and NMMA certified you could use any good quality brand as Amalie, Chevron, Penzoil just to name some.

Just be sure you know what type two cycle oil you need.....Low Ash, No Ash, Etc.... They're not all the same. It depends on the engine type. Seadoo Rotax engines require a special type and it's not TCW-3. Unless you're an oil expert, it's best to stick with manufacture's recommended oil type.

I use the Quicksilver at wallmart sells for about 4.98 a quart or 29.00 for a gallon! Works great in my skis and my boat. Smells good when burned too!! I use to use castor 927 but this stuff is cheaper and good!
