You want one that has pads held on with Velcro, so that you can change the pad to suit the compound you are using and keep it just for that compound. Those bonnets suck, you want foam pads.
The Porter Cable and the Meguiars orbitals are the best. The Meguiars has the most comfortable handle in my opinion, as you put pressure on from the top bale handle rather than the side handle of the PC.
Forget the Sears, that's good for ..... nothing I guess.
Use elbow grease if you cannot spend the extra bucks.
You get what you pay for and you will not be disappointed with either of the two I mentioned above.
You can get either with starter kits of pads and that is a good way to start.
Read this if you haven't already done so.
