    Most reliable RCD brand.

    Greetings. There has been much talk of the unreliability of RCD's lately so I was wondering what are peoples thoughts on the most reliable. Do you have a favourite brand? What do you think is the worst brand? I am hearing quite good things about MK brand but they are quite pricey. Thanks.
