Is there a "perfect" (temporary) marking tool?

I use the blue water-erase most often, unless it's something where I'm going to need to press it before I can remove the lines, or if it's a color where the blue doesn't show. Then I tend to default to old school tailor's chalk, the kind that comes as a solid square or triangle. Hard to get really fine lines with that stuff, though.
I haven't tried the crayola washable markers - I should give those a shot. I've tried a lot of other things I didn't like for one reason or another, but I haven't tried those yet.

I don't think there is one single marking tool that works on most things that can be seen by most. I use purple disappearing pen, pencil, chalk markers and tape. I do a lot more freeform quilting just to avoid marking.
