IMO any good brand of cylindrical fender is good. However, I would make sure you use one of these covers on them. I keep 4 in my boat, 2 for me and 2 in case somebody tries to raft up to me and doesn't have covers on theirs. I'm not letting my boat get scratched because somebody else is too cheap to buy some.

I HATE flat fenders.
