Funcicide Spray -- what do you use and why?

I used it this year alternating with organic copper soap (Bonide) and had pretty good results. My initial impression is that Serenade did very well against bacterial speck, which is the predominant tomato problem in my garden, but this year was much better.

I tried it on the powdery mildew on my squash, and it seemed to do as well as the copper, which is to say not a terrific job.

EB came for my tomatoes as always, but it came late, and it was extremely well controlled on everything except Coyote, which I think is just an especially susceptible plant, and which was kind of hard to spray because it's so shrubby.

It's hard to make conclusions because we had unusual weather this year, from a super rainy and cool May to an unusually brutally hot stretch from the middle of June through most of July. But I plan to use the same combination of copper alternating with Serenade this year again.
