It depends on what you want in regards to stiffness and flexibility. Our personal favorites are Tantus and VixSkin.

It really depends on your personal preference. Most people like Tantus, Vixen Creations, and Lelo silicone, but again, it's really not a big deal. I personally recommend Lelo's silicone just because it's so soft.

If you had to choose the Tantus Acute or the Lelo Ella which one would you recommend the most? The reviews for both speak highly of their ability to stimulate the g-spot, but it seems as if the Ella gets more praise...

I started with Fun Factory, and I loved their designs so much that I didn't see the point to get something from another company. The special thing with Fun Factory is that there is a drag on the silicone and they sometimes mix that up with a smoother texture. However, now that I've tried silicone from Regular Vixen, Vixskin and Tantus... I gotta say that they all have something unique. I've only touched the silicone from the Lelo Ina, and I do not believe it represents well a pure silicone toy from that company, so I won't include it, but:

Tantus is super glossy and is the firmest.
Fun Factory is matte and second in line with firmness.
Regular Vixen is smooth enough to shine and is still a little bit more flexible/soft than the previous two.
Vixskin is well... so realistic, that handling it is a turn on.

Your firmness comparison is very helpful, since this is something I was wondereing while looking at the different brands

Fun Factory, Tantus, Vixen, etc. Silicone is all good, just depends on the level of firmness ya want i guess.

I'm a fan of VixSkin, but you should also look at O2
