I like Avon's Skin So Soft because it is a sunscreen and repellent combined.  I find it very effective at keeping black flies away, but less so for mosquitoes.  Mosquitoes don't seem to be much of a problem in daylight when I am on the water anyway.  They are more of a problem at my campsite in the early evening.
