Best thermal paste

I pretty much exclusively use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut. Served me (and my PC) very well.

Alpenföhn Permafrost 2 for me. 
Which reminds me, how often do people re-apply thermal paste? And also does it have a shelf life (my tube is 3 years old now)? If I have to renew I may try out their Alpenföhn Blitzeis next (on par with Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut but cheaper apparently).

I just launch the thermal pad in and forget about it.

Very rarely have to re-apply thermal paste if applied properly in the first place, some exceptions like earlier batches of certain Thermal Grizzly types which were needing redoing in a couple of years or so though supposedly they've fixed that. Typically I've not seen any noticeable degradation in performance until around 7 years or so, by which point most systems are past their useful life anyhow.
Properly stored shelf-life is usually 6-8 years though it can be hit and miss - I've found pastes which weren't useable past 3 years in a drawer and others fine at 10 years, etc.
