We've got CDL, D&G and Lapierre 5/16 spouts in our bush and my personal favourite is the Lapierre. They're sturdier and fit the Lapierre T-cups really snugly.

I like the Lappierre tees and spouts best, just don't buy Lappierre tubing.

#1 Lapierre----- The Design Of The New Leader Stubbies Is Awesome, Just Hold Off On Buying Them. I've Been Told That Due To The Plastic Composition,they Don't Stay Together And Leak. I 've Heard Of A Lot Of Guys Returning Them. I Would Assume They Will Change Their Plastic Makeup.

Why not? I've got 40 rolls of it in the bush that I've put up over the past 12 months - please don't tell me it's crap!

No, my tubing was so full of crap before even the end of the season, you wouldn't believe it and it was 18 months old and completely blocked off by crap. Completely sealed system.
