YLI nylon monofilament is my favorite for invisible machine applique because it shows the least. I have tried some of the newer polyester invisible threads, but they all are more visible than my old YLI.
The only truly invisible threads are either nylon or polyester. No matter which brand, they will have a similar feel to the Sulky and YLI you have already tried.

Two years ago, I took a few classes with Edyta Sitar and she recommended using the one made by Aurifil - Aurifil is one of her sponsors and she uses it for all of her applique quilts. I tried it with my Bernina and I really liked it. I've used both the clear and smoke. I use it as the top thread and use a coordinating cotton/poly thread in the bobbin.
