I've used Titen HD anchor bolts in the past on certain interior applications but now I'm looking for a good post-install anchor bolt for ABU type post bases in exterior applications. Epoxy solutions sometimes trigger special inspections even with certain residential building departments so I am trying to avoid those. I'm looking at Simpson's Strong-Bolt 2 anchor bolt as a possible solution. Does anyone have any experience with these both good and bad?

If you aren't worried about cracked concrete or seismic, Hilti KB3s are (were) available in hot dipped galvanized. The Simpson Wedge bolts might be similar. If the contractor like's Red-Head, why don't you contact the manufacture for there recommendations (I have emailed them with questions about the original design capacity of anchors installed 30-40 years ago, and the response has been excellent)

We use them for everything, they have a technical guide, software, and available representatives that will go to the job site to train construction. They email you anytime something on their product technical guide changes.
