Question Which throw bag?

I've got to the stage where I need to replace a couple of throw bags. There doesn't appear to be a huge difference in price, but shape varies considerably as does the actual finish on the bag, from the natural fabric finish to rubber dipped etc.. The question is which is better? Is there any significant advantage/disadvantage of any of the types?

All thoughts welcome.

I've been using the treepedo for all of last season. Some pros and cons with it. Treepedo - Rope positioning tool for arborists. I think the good outweighs the bad. Flys better, penetrates dense canopy better, manipulation by jigging is better, and it breaks down to become like a skidding cone for the end of the rope. That's my favorite part it really smooths out pulling the rope through. The bad is cost, possibility of losing a part, and attachment to line needs to be jury rigged for quick attachment, and of course it could kill someone or punch through a roof. All in all it's my go to throw weight since the first try.
