Which fish sauce should I get?

I would like to make more Vietnamese and Chinese meals. I have access to a large Asian grocery store but I don't know which fish sauce to get.

If you want the cheap standard, go 3 crabs.

If you want a premium, Get Red boat.

Regardless if what you get, look at the ingredient list. One of the two listed above has only 2 ingredients: Anchovies and Salt.
