I have had snap on, cp, and am currently using a porter cable. Did not like the original pad on the porter, but otherwise liked them all about the same. If you are not doing production volume you don't need to get fancy. Just don't buy no name cheapo and expect it to last. Personally I like the porter best of the bunch, now that I have a different backing pad. (got that from the local bodyshop supply)

I just read this post again. Sorry I was responding to something I thought I saw. If you have a DA sander it can be converted with a special pad for polishing as well. 3M, and McGuire's probably make some of the better stuff out there, and should be readily available
