Default Best String Silencer for speed/quietness..??

What is the best string silencer to use for least amount of speed loss and best overall quietness...

I currently use rubber whiskers and i know there has to be a better choice..

In the past I used the String Leeches and they worked very well. I've been shooting the Mathews Outback since it came out and there is no need with the String Suppressors, most of their newer bows are this way.

BowJax. Or, better yet, as I did, eliminate them all together with a STS.

It works great... I havnt taken my string leeches off, but im sure you could and it would be just as quite...

Im gonna keep them on for added quietness and shock absorbtion to the cams...

I'll 2nd the STS. I took my leeches off after putting on an STS. Although I do have some cat whiskers back on now, even though I probably don't need them.
