Speedbleeder vs Power Bleeder vs Griots

Will be changing rotors/pads all around. Looking for the best way to bleed the brakes myself. Any one of theses products better than the other? Anything else better out there?

Speedbleeders

Griots One-Person Brake Bleeder

Motive Powerbleeder

just goto a autoparts stote and get a one man bleeder kit. It's like $10 and easy to use. I like the power bleeder, but its very dependant on vehicle as it creates pressure on the master cylinder res. Griots, looks promising but I don't have any experiance with it.

Motive Powerbleeder looks like it could potentially fill the master cylinder with air. Forget that. For the price you pay for any one of these bleeders you could goto a shop and have them do it several times or hire an immigrant to help you do it for a bottle of bee.

I've wanted to get the griots, but I don't have an air compressor yet

If you aren't auto-xing or doing something that frequently requires you replace and bleed your brakes it seems like a waste of money. How hard is it to have a friend come over and help you bleed them once every couple years.

And with the CL, the shop manual says driver front, pass front, pass rear, driver rear. I was always taught to start farthest from the MC, but thats what the manual says and thats what Ive done and it works.
