Edit: from the comments it looks like Gerband is way superior to Tesa and also from Germany.

Don’t buy any of them. The absolute best is Gerband from Thomann. Sticks very well, but isn’t as nasty as Tesa. It’s made for events so it’s also easy to remove after a few days. Hands down my go-to tape. https://www.thomann.de/intl/gerband_gewebeband_258_schwarz.htm
I’m partial to the Japanese Nichiban gaffa tape, it’s great and inexpensive, doesn’t leave residue (pretty strong though if you’re gonna use it on delicate surfaces).
Best of all, with Tesa you get 50 m instead of just 3M
I can vouche for the lineup of Würth Adhesive Tapes too
Wurth is a pain to buy in my country. They only sell directly to professionals, as in mechanics, tool shops, carpentries, etc, and don’t have shops open to walk in customers.
But Tesa gaffer tape is shit.
At least in a professional setting it is frowned upon because it leaves a lot of glue residue on floors and cables, which is a pain in the ass to clean.
Gerband is also German and the way better product, at least regarding gaffers tape.
