I have a Denis Wick and really like it. The only other mute I've used (or heard used) is the HB and it just didn't compare in sound. Mainly I have it because I got a good deal on it.

I have a Peter Gane. Really nice mute.

For a metal mute, you really can't beat the Denis Wick. For a fibre mute, I have used and really like my NP Griffith. Great feel and intonation. I hear the Wick practice mute is quite nice as well.

My $.02,
The best mute I have ever used is a Schlipf mute.
PROS: Added cup mute, great metal construction, blow better in tune than the WICK while still having a metalic sound
CONS: You can't buy them in the US, have to buy from Austria - and they're about $300 plus shipping.

I've used my Denis Wick exclusively. Never looked for another since I got it - perfect in every way for me.
