Amber necklace all the way!! Oskar was a great teether, so I never had any need for anything more than a bit of gel or panadol on the odd occasion, and I'm talking RARELY. Elijah, was a whole different story! Nightmare first 2 teeth. Got that necklace so fast after that and oh yeah, different little kiddy! I've had to use panadol about 2 or 3 times since and he's got 12 teeth now.
Another amber necklace fan here!! They are awesome. My DD also loves rubber fish bath toys (little fish toys that fill up with water and you sqeeze them to squirt it out). No idea why but that is her teething aid of choice - I have to take a rubber fish everywhere with me so she can furiously chew away on it!
