I have all three now, the Brass Guard, the EB mask, and the Bitter End lower face mask.

The Bitter End is definitely the strongest, but is therefore the hardest to form well. I can't get mine to fit the contour around my nose, and so it pushes on my nose. I would like to note that other owners say they have been able to adjust theirs to fit comfortably, so it could just be me. It also doesn't fit under my Desert Locust goggles properly and there is an exposed area under the goggles, but that might be due to the different shape of different goggles. The paint on the inside is also coming off. I had black paint around my mouth and chin after I used it last. I had a sort of Fu Manchu look going.

Not a ding or dent when shot with 400fps .20 at about 10 ft. I'm testing it close because I do a lot of CQB.

The Brassguard is definitely the strongest of the mesh ones. It is a comfortable fit, but has to be adjusted to fit goggles. I haven't skirmished with it yet, so I don't know it's comfort over a long period. It's powder coated, but isn't as close to my mouth as the Bitter End, so I don't see the paint chipping on the inside because of that. By the way, I have the "assassin" full face mask (with eye cutouts so you wear goggles over it) coming from Russia.

Also held up to the firing test above.

The EB mask is the third strongest of them all. It is more malleable than the Brass Guard, and it's painted like the Bitter End. It is also a more comfortable fit than the Bitter End. It did deform with the close shot test, but did not penetrate. I have also not skirmished this one yet.
