depends!
in my fridge i have hp steak sauce, chop, tiptree, and tesco value brown sauces.
sometimes i want a bacon butty with really cheap brown sauce for the acidity, so the value gets used, chop is for general use, and the tiptree for dipping things like scotch eggs or pork pies. the hp steak was bought to taste it and i wouldn't bother if i were you, its just normal hp with a ton of pepper in it.
i don't do ketchup

I stopped having HP Sauce when the f
king bds at Heinz bought the brand off Danone and promptly shut down the proper HP Sauce factory which was located in Aston High Street (a proper British place to make a proper British sauce). This symbol of the British dining table is now made in Elst in Holland, the smell of hot vinegar and spices forever banished from fair Aston.
Despite assurances at the time that the taste would not change, I'm sorry to say HP sauce has become a pale imitation of it's former glory. In days past your pool of HP would sit proudly on your plate waiting to have a banger dunked in it, but now it's lost it's thick unctuousness and is so watery a river slides down the side of the plate in a way that it never used to. The spicing has become weaker and weaker, you used to be able to see individual "bits" in it, but no longer. The pungent vinegar is now overwhelming at the expense of the rich and extravegant molasses taste. I laid down a case of the old stuff, but sadly my last bottle was finished a few moths ago
It's now a nasty cheapened product made by penny-pinching Dutch accountants who have not the faintest idea of it's cultural significance or sense of identity it imbues to the British. I would happily kick their teeth out. So in protest I now rarely buy anything from the stable of H J Heinz (except for tinned spaghetti which is unimpeachable) and prefer instead the rich taste of anything with the Branston brand attached.
Ladies and Gentlemen of England, listen to your tongues and to your consciences. Awake! And boycott anything from watery Heinz!!
The temple, now sadly demolished.

Never tried it 
Trouble is I'm a set fast believer that bacon or sausage sandwiches MUST be accompanied by tomato sauce.
Brown with sausages
I like the Waitrose essentials OB brown but red is only Heinz
