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.

Polyform fan here, with fender-condoms of course.

I HATE flat fenders.
