Photo Flo 600 is the large lab (non-consumer) version of Photo Flo, 
and is 3 times as concentrated as the 200.  It has the same wetting 
agent.  You would probably get the same results if you simply used 
less (1/3).  

I'm not sure how much the additional glycol in the Photo Flo 200 
matters.  You'd end up with less of that also with the 600, but 
offsetting this is that the 600's version of glocol is probably more 
effective (though toxic). 

I have some of the Ilford wetting agent but have not tested it.  My 
guess is that it's about the same.  I'd just try one of those and see 
what works.
