Cholula is the first step on the ladder of hot sauces. Quite good, too.
I've tried many, many kinds. I do not like the ones that are compounded strictly to be the hottest thing this side of the sun. Most of them have terrible chemical aftertaste. The better ones are in the mid-range of heat. Examples include Frank's, Tapatio, Texas Pete, Louisiana, Crystal, Tabasco, and others in that range. My favorite has long been Arizona Gunslinger. The original is made from sun-ripened jalapenos and is a lot thicker than the vinegar-based ones like Tabasco. They now make many varieties. For an intro, get their three-pack of Original, Chipotle, and Green. https://azgunslinger.com/store/
Hint: try a few drops of AZG Original on potato salad. Trust me on this; you'll thank me.
The bargain sauce is Crystal. You get three times as much for one-third the price of Tabasco - and I like it better.
