Out of the ones on your list I voted for the QAD. That being said my absolute favorite is a Schaffer Archery rest. Bulletproof, whisper quiet because of the silencing pad they come with,very easy to set up and once they are set up you can forget about them.

I have used only two, a Phantom and a QAD, both were are good rests, but I think there are lots of good ones out there. They all have one thing the other ones don't and vice versa..

I have used, sold, & setup all the ones listed plus a few more.

The Limb Driver would get my vote hands down as the easiest to setup, and most consistent working rest of the bunch.

I took me awhile but the NAP so fare is the only one that will get out of the way. It has adjustments for the speed of the drop away. It does how ever have a lot of moving parts, I like simpicity thats why I only use one pin.

Default RE: Fall a way..what is your preference?

I started with a Whisker Biscuit. Hated it. Tore my fletchings off. (Although was tuned well out to 40yds)I then tried a Trophy Ridge DropZone,kinda noisy (did not know it could be upgraded and tweaked to be so quiet).I then tried a Trophy Taker just because someone kept bragging on it. Hated it. Too noisy. I then had a Muzzy Zero Effect installed, very quiet rest. I had someone tell me a horror story about the rest coming apart and impaling the back of his hand. I went back to the Whisker Biscuit for about 2 weeks. Still tore my fletchings off. Ughhh. I went back to the Trophy Ridge Dropzone, installed an upgrade kit and a few secret quieting tweeks, and never looked back. All that being said, I would love to get a good deal on a limbdriver to try it out.

For now, it's TR or bust.
