as for pack depends what sort of ball you play and you postion (if sup air) and how much paint you shoot

for the first 6 times i went paintballing i used site pots, and found these ok.
now i have purchased some dye locklids and these are very good, not had a problem with them. well worth the money

Most are pretty much the same, although I personally like the dye locklids, as they are easier to open one handed than many other brands...
bubblegums not far off on this one.
Dye locks are easy to open with a little tab that you simply slide and the lid will pop open, Proto ones are reasonably robust with a tab sticking out of the pod to open with your thumb, fatboys are robust with an indented tab (think of it as a grove cut into the pod shaped like your thumb) and you just flick the lid open without the use of a pretruding tab (so to speak) If you're going to be playing in the woods i'd suggest a 4+3+2 NXE pack, as they're generally a good all rounder.

holds 9 pods. 4 (4 X main pod loops) + 3 (3 x elastic loops that are attached in between main loops) +2 (another two elastic loops usually found at each side of the pack).
This gives you a wider option of pod quantities for each game as oppossed to say a 3+2+2 (7 pods)

Any of the pods Dave mentioned are good for the woods. I do find that locklids open when I'm pulling them out of my pack (I press the tab by mistake in my haste) and are quite a tight fit in most packs, and proto pods break (the lid is attached to the main pod like a collar, which I occasionally pull straight off). Fatboys are easy to open and don't break (don't break the bank either). I also like draxxus pods cuz they stay shut and don't break, but they're a bit hard to open (I care more about them staying shut).
Personally I like to use fatboys or similair as they are cheap, cos you always lose pots, break them, get them covered in mud... etc etc etc....
You don't mind soo much when you have to buy new ones.
