If you’re asking which is better, it’s all preference, but I prefer silicon as I find it gives a tighter bind and I just like the overall feel of it.

I think nobody answered it best by saying it comes down to personal preference.
I received a BVM with silicone in it and I like how that feels and plays, to the point where I’ve bought flowable silicone and am kinda moving away from replaceable response pads.

I find that flowable silicone gives you a snappier tighter bind usually. But stock response is fine too. I just wait for that stuff to wear out (which takes a long time, might I add) then replace it with some flowable.

flowable silicone is cheap when it comes down to the long run, and well, yeah. It’s personal preference, but mine is the flowable stuff.

Use more light. Since I bet most of use use flowable silicone indoors when we’re doing this, we need to be near a suitable light source. Often, a a desk type lamp that can be adjusted works best so I can move it around and look for shadows and other stuff.
