For those of you that outsource your board stuffing to more than one contractor...
We have 3-4 different CM's that we use for populating our boards.  
Do you insist that they all use the same brand or type of solder paste/bar solder, so that you can ensure compatibility with wire solder used in house?  
Or how do you determine if there will be compatibility issues?  
Or do you not care as long as it is 63/37, or 62/36/2?  
Does this become more critical with Pb free?
Do you have any difficulty getting different solder manufacturers to agree to compatibility to one wire solder brand?  
Or do you just use different wire solder based on who populated the board?

Thanks.
