I use propane in a black bottle. Some prefer mapp, but I prefer a slightly gentler heat rather than nuking my solder joints.

I use a Bernzomatic TS7000, but you can get the same torch under the Rothenberger brand name.
 
propane is more than sufficient for soldering on all sizes up to 28mm copper. too hot a flame and your far more likely to overheat the copper leading to a poor joint.
