Which type of mouthwash is most effective out of hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide / sodium chlorite?

Both of these attack smelly anaerobic bacteria through oxidation and are starting to be used in the latest mouthwashes. I already know HP is highly effective, and has been discussed here before. But what about Chlorine dioxide? Could this be even better?
