Whichever one you can find cheaper used.

EDIT: Well mow that you added the pulse into the equation, go with that. The Pulse is more money, but performs better.

No get a pulse over those. I have seen so many problems with halos, and i love my pulse.

ALso though look for a vlocity. If you can find a cheap velocity get that as it is very close to the pulse, but much better than a halo.

I'd go Pluse, Empire, then Halo as a last resort. Halo's like to break, I havn't had much experience with the Empire to tell a lot about but from what i've seen from the pulse, it's pretty good.

Go with the halo, I've had mine for so long. They're very reliable.

all are good hoppers, i personal like the pulse but you should go with the reloader B cause that should be the cheapest. just my opinion but all three will loader alot faster than a electra can shot. the spyder fasta is 'post to be good but idk much about them

YOu can put paint in any hopper before you start it up.

I know a lot of you have halos that work fine, but the most problematic hopper i have ever seen has been halos. When ever someone is having hopper problems at the field, its always a halo.

I've had my Halo for 4 years (different shells but same inetrnals) and have never had any problems out of it. From what I have seen Empire B2 and Vlocities are also very good hoppers. The Pulse, however, I'm not impressed with. They seem to have problems once the tabs on the feed tray get worn in. Mechanically the Pulse performs very well, but as far as the shell goes...I would wait until (if Draxxus ever beats the lawsuit) a gen 2 comes out with a better and more durable feed tray.

I had a Halo B. Bought it brand new... It worked for maybe a month before I started to have problems with it. First it was the eyes not working, the plug in somehow came undone. Then a little bit of paint got underneath the drive cone and screwed it up, and now eaither my borad or eyes are completly shoot couse it can't see anything.

As for my velocity jr, I've had it all summer and not one problem yet. I still have the Halo sitting down stairs (which is where it stays).

why just vlocity jr? get a regular vlocity instead. But go look around and buy a pulse or vlocity, whichever one is cheaper.

He ruled out the regular velocity because it's butt ugly. Thats what I did anyway.
