Herbie's vs. Hal-O's, Tube Dampers whats good?

Lots of tube dampers on the market. Some look pretty cheap and scary. Whats a good brand to buy? Herbie's and Hal-O look like they're well made. What about the orange ones? anybody know?

So they're all good. I have tried every model of ring-and-bumper-type tube damper Steve Herbelin makes or used to make and they all work very well indeed. Sadly, I have not found a cheaper Herbie's model that outperforms a more expensive one. The better ones really do work better IME.
