Since you are a looking expert, I wanted to ask: Which response system is better? Starburst or Silicon Response?

Both response systems have their benefits. As a performer the response pad provides more vesatility for doing string tricks as well as loops. Starburst give a cleaner, more predictable wind-up and longer spin times.

One more comment on this. Pad response (like the loop360) takes less attention to maintanence. If you are a performer more than a competitor then pad response will be easier to grab and go if you are street performing 5-10 shows a day.
