I've never seen one fail, so I would just get what works for you. Cheap/plain or pricey/fancy. I have some pretty blue ones. :biggrin2

where's the best pricing? they rape you for these things. i bought some big ones from a manufacturer's outlet store for 4 bucks apiece, so you can imagine the markup. now i want more of a different color and they're 30 bucks or more a piece, ridiculous.
