Default Brake Bleeder Recommendations

Which of the following do you guys think is better? I've tried seaching and it appears people recommend both. Which one works better? Is there another one you guys recommend?

Motive: http://www.motiveproducts.com/02bleeders.html

Mityvac: http://www.mityvac.com/pages/products_hvpo.asp

Thanks.

Try a Phoenix Systems brake bleeder. I have the max pro. I have had it for about 3 yrs. now, & it is the best bleeder I have ever used. This thing works the best on 4+ piston calipers & abs systems. Try phxsyss.com

I don't work on enough cars to be willing to spend over $300 on a bleeder. Looks like a great system though. Anyone else have suggestions?

Motive. I've used both.

The MityVac sucks some air thru the threads of the bleeder screws. It helps a lot to put a bead of grease around there, but still does it some.

Then I bought the Motive & it was so much easier to use.
