Default "Best" fungicide for Septoria?

I've made an early resolution (for probably the 20th time) that next season, I'm going to do a more consistent job of spraying my plants. I'm ordering a new 2-gallon SOLO sprayer + I'll experiment on a very limited basis with a recycled battery-powered Roundup sprayer. The plan for the empty Roundup sprayer is to at least triple rise + use salt water to oxidize any last molecules of the herbicide. (Any thoughts on that?) Wouldn't I love to have one of those big rigs that orchards use to basically "fog" the plants and cover every square mm of the leaves and stems! But obviously, that's impractical, and I certainly don't need another big piece of equipment sitting around.

That's the equipment part, but then comes the fungicide question. I have experience with both Daconil and Copper, and neither seems all that great. Any other thoughts on a good preventative/"cure" -- especially for Septoria? It's about the only real curse around here in central Indiana.
