RE: hostage pro
I use both and find that each has its advantages. I have been using the WB for several years and really haven't run into a situation where I had an issue with it. My vanes aren't twisted and I don't typically hunt in weather where the bristles would feeze. The Hostage Pro is on my hunting bow as we speak and I find it to be an extremely solid rest in terms of performance and construction. Probably my biggest gripe with the earlier version was the use of plastics. Now with the Pro series the rest is rock solid and extremely easy to setup.
