so which is the best???? pal6035, articooler, supaorb, or fop32????

for the longest time i thought alphas were the best.....now reading all these reviews, im not so sure any more......
first off, lets not discuss the hedgehog238 here, as i was thoroughly convinced its not a good deal for the money (no better than pal6035)
now for the rest:
agilent articooler
thermaltake supaorb
alpha pal6035
globalwin fop32

i need a new hsf to replace my crappy coolermaster, so i need some feedback..

FOP38 hands down.

Here is a review where tha Alpha out-performed the FOP32:

Alpha vs FOP32

I really cannot put much faith in reviews. One comes up with different results than the others. I go by personal experience, and from testing on many T-Bird/Duron systems that I build. So far out of the FOP38, Arctic Cooler, and Alpha, the winner for me has been the Alpha. I have steered clear of the Hedgehog due to Plycon not accepting returns on them being damaged in shipping because of how soft copper is, and easy to damage or scratch. Even Kyle at HardOCP stated the fact in one of his news pages a few weeks ago warning people how installing/uninstalling the Hedgehog too much damages it.

notice i said FOP32, NOT FOP38.......i would shoot myself if i had to live with the delta screamer.......
update: thx for the review, just another tid bit in the large world of HSF's
