To compare differences by manufacturer consider Palomar's type 43 material is good for attenuation from 2 MHz to 1000 MHz. Fair-Rite's type 43 is good for attenuation from 20 MHz to 300 MHz.  As you can see this is significant on the HF band.   To compare differences by manufacturer consider Palomar's type 43 material is good for attenuation from 2 MHz to 1000 MHz.

Regardless of the type of core, one pass will probably not be very effective.  The same Fair-Rite 31 material is also available in a "FT240" 2.4-inch toroid formatFair-Rite Part No 2631803802. 10-12 turns of coax on a FT240-31 makes a nice low-bands choke or balun.
