Your favorite and least favorite belts

I searched the forum and didn't see any recent threads on this.

Favorites: Norton Blaze Ceramic - They last and last and last and last, they also don't throw any particles of crap in my face. I bought some other ceramic belts of a different brand thinking they would be similar, but they aren't even in the same league. The others cut worse even with a far rougher grit and being a lot fresher (36 vs 80), and throw lots of crap at you. When I go home Ill get the name of the other as a don't buy.

Fave....Blaze and Gator.
Least fave.....the batch of Norton blue zirconia belts that kept exploding on me and any Hermes other than their higher grade gray AO belts which are actually pretty good..
