There's not a lot in it really, maybe 3-4 degrees C between the worst and the best pastes. Just use what you have, buying something else won't make a jot of difference.
Saying that I tried something new to me when I rebuilt my pc into it's new case last week and I now have a genuine Honeywell PTM7950 pad on my 7800x3d. It's on par with the Kryonaut I used previously but what a pain to use!!
for short term use, toothpaste is indeed absoutely fineThat's just it, I don't have any paste on hand
Personally I like to buy a big tube of MX-4. It's cheap enough to throw in other people's stuff I'm fixing/temp setups, but good enough to use on my own main computers. So far I've bought two tubes in about 8 years so well worth it.That's just it, I don't have any paste on hand

Dunno if MX-6 is similar in its ease of use and long life.
