hey bro, first off, the most important thing is a good source. you can shoot the best brand all day...or what you think is the best brand, and if you're getting a knock off or fake, it of course is going to be a loss. naps has generic blues and hyges. IMO, hyge is the best brand on the market. i have been told that his hyge's are purchased directly from the original manufacturer. i can tell you with first hand experience that his hyge's are solid. in fact, i'm using them now. i've used hyge since they first came out several years back and the ones i've gotten from him seem to work just as well as the ones i used years back.   if you can afford to go with a good brand name, i would go that route.
