Best caulk for baseboards and door/window molding?

Old house with not perfectly straight walls and windows. Need to fill in a bit here and there. I’ve been told both acrylic latex or latex or a latex/silicone blend. All trim is painted white and I’ll touch up after caulking.

Not if it's silicone, you won't.

For applications where you're going to paint the caulking, use Latex Acrylic caulking -- the best tier you can find. Urethane elastomeric caulkings are great too, like Big Stretch and Pro Stretch.

For applications where you need maximum durability and weather resistance, use 100% silicone.
