Default 2 stroke fuel question

Hi everyone.
Just wondering if anyone knows the best fuel to use in 2 strokes, whether it
be lead replacement fuel (LRP) or Unleaded?
Being a car enthusiast I understand all the differences between the 2 fuels
and have heard many pros and cons for both, but basically LRP for old leaded
fuel cars, and unleaded for the newer ones, or even the optimax, and other
equivalents as long as it's from a well known servo with a high turnover.
Anyway, when it comes to 2 strokes I was wondering if ULP or LRP is best?
LRP does have a lubricant in it, so when adding the oil for 2 stroke, it
could only help.
In general LRP has a higher octane rating (or it did have).
Apart from being cheaper, I can't see any benefits of ULP. There is no cat
converters in 2 stroke exhausts for LRP to harm.
Just wondering if anyone has opinions, or has heard anything?

Thanks in advance.
