The folks at Polywad are top notch as well. I accidentaly ordered a couple boxes of 2 3/4 when I needed 2 1/2. When I called they sent me out two boxes even though 4 is supposed to be their minumum order. Due to the high price of shipping they threw in an additional half box of shells. For my mistake I think they went well above and beyond for me. Both makers are good. I would check out which ones pattern best out of your gun.
As far as expense. A box of 20 from either company is still about 7 dollars cheaper than a box of Golden Pheasant Fiochi. Any good brand of shells for upland game tend to fall in the 10.00 range anyway. The only down side IMO is you have to order by phone or internet. I just make sure to order enough before hunting.
