Default Which Landing net?

Checking through my gear over the weekend, realised I need a new landing net as I damaged it the last time out.
Having spent a considerable amount of time in e-bay etc. cant make up my mind which to buy.
Any suggestions remembering it's to be used on medium sized lakes.
Cheers,
Top Conker

I bought the "large" size of this Snowbee net recently - I'm seeing quite a few in use around the fisheries...

I've used it from the bank on both small stillwaters and a reservoir, and from a boat on a reservoir. Done everything I could expect of it without fuss, most importantly landing trout to over 6lb.

I've had the Belmont for more than 10 years without problem.
