18% white balance cards, what ones do you recommend?

[TERRA Operative]

I'm currently looking to buy a white balance card, and am looking for something decent.
I have seen these ones so far, is there any others I should look at? Is there really any big difference between the better ones, or does it mainly just come down to brand and price?

I wouldn't think there could be much difference in quality, but go for brand name to be sure.

I have had the lastolite grey/white balance card for several years now and it works great. I actually white balance of the grey side and for me i get better results than the white

The lastolite one folds into a nice small zip pouch which i keep on my belt, love it.

Just purchased one of the Lastolite white-grey products. I choked a little bit spending the money, and as soon as I got it, wondered why I hadn't done it sooner.

Another fan of the Lastolite EzBalace disc. I use the 20 inch model.

Well, my brother jumped in and bought the whibal card. I liked that one too, being plastic rather than paper like the GC18 etc, as we will be outdoors, in snow, etc. The purport to have excellent quality control too.

Will see how it goes.
