I like plastic wedges the best. They don't break down nor decompose over time. We sell them at PlumbingSupply.com.
Caulking around a toilet? I recommend caulking 90% of the toilet at the base with a water soluble product called Poly SeamSeal (available at most places) which is easy to clean up (unlike silicone). It also is more mildew resistent and stronger.
The 10% that I don't recommend that you caulk is behind the toilet (you won't be able to see it unless you really go searching). The reason for leaving that space is to allow condensation, etc etc to leave.
deBest manufacturer makes a great wax that is extra thick.
