Or if your budget is tight you can try [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVPROFIL=++&FVSEARCH=towerkote&search=Go]Towerkote[/link]

Towerkote is almost as easy to apply as Ultrakote but tends to loosen up in cold weather conditions, so you may have to tighten it back up with an iron in the spring.

I use Ultracote, but feel neither is better. It's different application techniques that get a good covering job done.

Comparing the two is comparing a Ford and a Chevy. Different strokes for different folks.

I am new to covering planes, and I found that Ultracote was easy to use. I watched MinnFlyer's videos before I started, and I had a good iron and trim tool. I used towerkote, and I think Ultracote was easier to use. I have not used monokote so I can't give an opinion on it. I do know monokote uses more heat to activate the adhesive.
