Best earplugs?

I have some 20 db Earwear uninversal fit "musician's" earplugs that are good. But I went up close for a KISS tribute band named Strutter - I abused myself. The problem wasn't the db rating, it's that they kind of work their way out with time. I need some custom fitters. There are 3 brands I am looking at. Two of them, Etymotics and Ultimate Ears look like they are selling the same product with a different tint.

Westone Labs appears to offer custom molded earplugs where you can choose the strength after the fact - 25 db, 13 db, or 9 db. Why would I be interested? Because if you aren't up close 25db seams a bit overkill, though maybe some would argue against that.

Any comments on quality of these 3 brands? Another one that I have missed?

Look into Pacific Coast Laboratories. They are custom fitted
by an audiologist and come with six interchangeable filters with various attenuation depending on your needs. The most important thing is to make sure your audiologist does a good job making the mold of your ear. This will get you a
snug fit without any sound "leakage"
