They're pretty much the same. Carb cleaner is carb cleaner is carb cleaner.

Get whatever your local auto store has in stock to clean TB's.

You can use Seafoam in the same way. Take the parts off and clean them with seafoam. You dont need to spray it to be able to clean it.

And Seafoam makes it in a spray called Deepcreep.

Seafoam Deepcreep (aersol can) or Amsoil Power Foam. Both are awesome products and really work well.
