Favourite brand pads

I heard Propel - was good and cheap.
Sonus
Lake Country - to me seems like the way to go.

But I'd like a consensus from you guys...just to gauge what most prefer

Meguiar's, becuase I always can remember the grade by the color. Otherwise, I have no preference as far as quality is concerned; IMO, they're all the same.

I have had zero problems with my Propel pads, so my vote goes to Propel.
If they work just as good as any other pad, but cost less, what more do you need?

I have only tried Sonus DAS and SFX so far and am happy with both. The Meguiars ones are just too dear over here.

Plan to get some Propel ones soon to see how they are compare to the sonus DAS ones.
