A GREAT BIG +1.
Triclosan's chemical structure is not too far removed from the dioxins which scares the bleep-double-blank-censored out of me that they allow it in oral consumables. Reminds me of 2,2' methylenebis(3,5,6 trichlorophenol) aka hexachlorophene.
I'd rather use pentachlorophenol if I need chlorinated hydrocarbons in my mouthwash!!!!!
Cepacol has cetylpyridinium chloride, I remember buying a case of it at Liquidation World (?name?) a few years ago. I liked the taste of it and it was dirt-cheap there.
I use either Listerine green stuff or Scope, whichever is at Costco.
