For anchoring rebar or threaded rod to concrete most manufacturers offer both a 1:1 two part epoxy and ~10:1 acrylic epoxy. Both offering relatively similar capacities.

I'm interested in what others feel is a better product or for what situations one may be better over the other.
 
As long as the resin meets the bolt spec I doubt there would be a problem. Exception might be if the resin was exposed to a corrosive substance. One resin may resist better than another.
