Cams - BD vs Wild Country Tech Friends
If I had to do it all again, I'd get Metolius TCUs (double on the yellow, red, and orange sizes, one of the blue and gray) for small stuff, a set of nuts, a set of tri-cams up to 3, and Camalots for the rest.
Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.

Don't forget about the forged friends. This is really the most bang for the buck. $28 at pagan gear. Yeah, tech friends may be better for #1 and smaller, where the stem can get jammed, but for 1.5 and up, this isn't really an issue. If I had it to do over, I would get #1, #2 camalots, perhaps doubles, then a set of forged friends 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4. Cut the sling off of the end, and tie on a loop of spectra 5.5 mm cord in the little hole near the cams. BD camalot juniors are really junk(in terms of durability) compared to this forged friend setup - WC forged lasts forever- just change the spectra every 10 years. And this tied-off friend system is the best to prevent "walking". The BD #5 camalot rocks for big cracks.
