I've found that after using any of the cleaners with a lot of ammonia in it patching the bore with denatured alcohol then drying and oiling works well .
As for a favorite cleaner ......... well , not salt water !!

For a quick clean I just use some spray Brake cleaner. Other than that I use Hoppes #9 mostly & more recently Auto trans fluid or Power steering fluid since it is cheaper & I have never seen an issue with it.
"My choice", anyway. I tend to keep anything composite/plastic away from the stuff I use & just stick to cleaning the metal parts in such cleaners. Hot soapy water cleans the plastic/composites right nicely for me.

For black powder it's simple green or Ballistol for smokeless it's Hoppe's, eds red ,1970's vintage army rifle bore solvent and Outer's bore oil. All my tools are in top shape.
Put me down for JB bore compound for really fouled up stuff. I use this sparingly.

Hot soapy water and 4 ought steel wool woven into a bronze brush works very well on cruddy bores.
