Herbie's vs. Hal-O's, Tube Dampers whats good?

Lots of tube dampers on the market. Some look pretty cheap and scary. Whats a good brand to buy? Herbie's and Hal-O look like they're well made. What about the orange ones? anybody know?

I'm trying to get more warmth. I have a new Rogue Athena pre and its just a little bright due to the 6h30 super tubes. I have the old plastic Herbie's and they're pretty good. I need to get 8 dampers for my EL34's and at least 4 dampers for the 6H30's. I heard its too late to turn in the old dampers for the new ones. Shucks!
