SVL String leeches are junky. They're only useful if you cut em up and use them to pad your dropaway prongs. :wink:
Bowjax II's are pretty darn nice. They do a decent job silencing and can be setup like speed buttons. With a chrono and a few minutes, you'll like be able to get a few more fps out of your rig and still benefit from the string dampening.
Whiskers offer better silencing generally speaking. You'll drop some fps but quiet the string down quiet a bit.
Now, I know you didn't ask about these, but I thought I'd throw in some info (from my own experience) on them as well. Beaver balls offer the best silencing by far. Between the 4 bows I maintain on a regular basis (me -1, girlfriend -2, friend -1) as well as a few others I've helped tune in the past, I've tried just about everything out there with the exception of those Spider string leeches. Up until a month or two ago, I refused to use beaver balls, just didn't like the way they looked. I finally picked up a set as my girlfriend wanted to set her hunting bow up with them. I figured, whatever, it's not my bow, she can have whatever she wants on hers. I was definitely impressed with what they did to say the least. Her bow went from whisper quiet to near dead silence. Without exaggeration, I can truthfully say that at 10+ yrds away, you'll be hard pressed to hear any noise from the bow on the shot. You can, however, hear the arrow whizzing by and smack into the target just fine.
