Having researched the performance of these products this seems to be the best on the market but by no means the most expensive. It is messier to use, being runnier (and stickier!)but i do find the longer setting time helpful and the final results are bombproof.

For the most reliable anchoring for high loads, even in wet conditions, a pure epoxy anchor is what you want. this is fischer's, there are others on the market. i used this product where it was necessary to fix six long anchors all in one hit. it's a bit runnier (but still pretty slump resistant) than chemical anchors i've used in the past, but this helps with the bonding. it also has a longer working time, which was ideal for this particular job. it was a sunny day, and i spent about 30 mins faffing about getting all the holes filled and studding bedded, and the stuff was still very workable. this is in contrast to anchors i've used in the past that go off in about 10 mins on a sunny day, meaning you go through a lot of those precious mixer nozzles! one more thing, you will need the special fischer applicator gun (fis ak) to use it, which are ridiculously expensive. if you're lucky you can find one on ebay. it won't work in a normal mastic gun. it's a really good product.
