I use "Rage Gold" in my shop but at $75 per gallon it hurts buying it. Any good brand name should work fine for you. Good luck!

For skimming then something like Evercoat Rage Extreme. When I finish using Rage Gold I will skim over with Extreme.

Do not know if other brands offer body filler designed for a particular application. I went with Evercoat, comes in a variety of different flavors. I was also looking for a filler that was sandable, and waterproof. Had a few holes to fill, browsed product choices and included a small can of body putty that seem to best fit that purpose?

Posting link to Evercoat website for info purposes only, may want to browse, determine if there is combination of body fillers for your purpose then shop around.
