I think potassium, but I'm not sure.... it seems the most suitable: not hygroscopic, not as sensitive as sodium chlorate, right?

edit: by sensitive I mean is doesn't so easily catch fire when combined with a fuel.

I didn't try yet to see how it behaves when combined with a fuel... I think I'll try with benzene
