    Any cyanoacrylate glue or gel should be fine once it has cured.
    I use superglue brand but looking for bigger and longer lasting glue.

    I get the small tubes

    I use gorilla glue, or 2 part epoxy like pratley clear but thats real expensive. Wouldn’t recommend if you sticking a couple of stuff in your tank.

    Most superglues work just fine. As stated above by the others.

    Super glue to my knowledge is all the same, as already mentioned above. I've used lots of different types no issue. I do however find from my own experience that a super glue gel works much better and is easier to work with. Also water is kind of the "activator" if you like that makes it set almost immediately. Also I found that by keeping it in the fridge standing upright it will never dry out or harden and its shelf life is extended once it open.
