Seeking packing tape recommendations

I aspire to pack the used gear I ship as well as or better than the original manufacture. I'm not happy with the quality of packing tape I can get at Office Depot and whatnot, even their so-called "heavy duty" flavors. It seems flimsy to me. There's a whole world of packing tapes out there (and specialty websites for just that), but I'd prefer not to buy 36 rolls at a time. But if I do have to buy that much to get the good stuff, I want to make sure I'm getting the =really good= stuff (for my application -- I'm not trying to pack a submarine, after all). If there are any packing tape connoisseurs out there, what do like and where do you get it?

Scotch brand 3710 and 3750 adhesive tapes work well for the equipment packaging I've done. The 3750 is heavier duty, but the 3710 is great for mid-weight packages. Both come in clear or tan color, usually found in 3-paks.

Office Depot appears to carry the Scotch 3710 in a 6-pak and the Scotch 3750 in 3-pak.

I have found the "Duck" brand to be OK, but the Scotch seems to have a better adhesive and stronger material.
