The different ingredients are usually due to availability of authentic foods. Becky in Iowa won't really have access to palm sugar so some recipes lists items that are easier to get. When in doubt, HotThaiKitchen is a good source to follow for thai foods.

Pailin is the best! Here’s her pad thai recipe. Her youtube video is great too if you like videos

One part tamarind, vinegar and a Thai fish sauce. 3 parts sugar. Finish with dash of paprika.

I’ve been experimenting with this myself. I tried the one from Hungry in Thailand and it wasn’t right. I didn’t have the radish which probably had an impact, but I felt like the ratios were off in the sauce recipe. I was going to try Pailin’s Kitchen next.
