[Blackbelly] Parasites and Deworming

I've been going through the many websites looking at all of the
various pesticides for parasites. I have about a dozen AB and I'm not
sure what a reasonable deworming program should look like, what
product is the best/least expensive to use, or if fecal testing is
really all that necessary.
And is it better to use injection? or a drench?

There are a lot of horse ranches around my area, but those products
don't necessarily translate well and I'm rather leery of trying them
out, especially when dosages are so different. I'm calling around to
some large animal vets but just like any other business trying to make
a sale I want to know I'm not being snowed into getting something I
don't really need.

I'd appreciate hearing what you all do and use.
