Lots of people like them, but they're the only belt that builds heat at low speed, the backing is too flexible IMO, and it's hard to gauge wear. I think they're pretty expensive too.
From Klingspoor, the zirconia belts for coarser grit (but for me that's 50 grit up to 120 grit) and up. I like their yellow J weight for flexible belts.
Deerfos belts work very well, but they have quirks. The cushioned backing developes static, so when I get a shock I just leave it running while I give the backside of the belt a few squirts of soapy water.
To be honest, you generally get what you pay for, and I go by price as much as anything. I probably have 10 kinds of belts, but no cheap ones, and I'm never disappointed.
