Scatt or S76 treatment

I think that my finches may have scaly face. People have said scatt and s76 are both good treatments, but which is better?

I use scatt for air sack mites. If you try one and the bird doesn't start showing improvement in 14 days, take it to the vet because there is something else going on.

I have also used scatt for air sac mites, but I did a lot of reading on both and they both treat scaly face. S76 had a few warnings so I chose the Scatt. I really don't know which works better, but the Scatt worked fine.
