I have no experience with the other powders but goex is blackpowder and pyrodex is substitute. The newer Clean Shot (Clear Shot?) is a substitute that claims to be cleaner and claims to be less attracted to water. Clean Shot works fine for me but I prefer blackpowder out of all powders I have tried.
Wonder Wads are nice and a lot less messy, but they are expensive and I have had a few problems with them. I use Bore Butter and I use it liberally on the cylinder pins (especially on my 1858(1863) remington replica).
What you have forgotten: Hot water and soap. The best way to clean off the powder. Just don't make the mistake I did and try to dry it off in the oven because it gives the guns rust spots. When you rinse, use really hot water and wipe dry as best you can. The hot water will heat the metal and evaporate real quick.
