Anything less is a waste of money. And many things that cost much more don't perform much better.

I find braid is most useful for cleaning up, like when replacing surface-mount things. Braid varies in effectiveness, too. Maybe the flux deteriorates with age, or off-brands just aren't as good.

Yep!! That's exactly the one I have. Except mine is ESD safe black... That is by far the best solder sucker I have ever owned or used. Worth every penny. I picked mine up at Digikey.
