    LABSA, since it have more low HLB, and fully neutralized at pH 10

    @Abdullah If you checked commercial brands, they mostly use mixtures of anionics, since they have a synergy when mixing different HLB surfactants. LABSA is often mixed with either SLES or SLS. Mixing also increases solubility of LABSA, especially in ionic systems where it tends to form precipitates at moderate levels.
