I would take a Halo B out of those two, though my personal preference is the Reloader B honestly.
Either way the only way to prevent a chop is to have an eye system really and a decent hopper that can keep the balls coming into the breech. Other then that there's not much else other then using good paint which will cut down on the hopper and barrel breaks.

The Omen is unique in that you actually have control over how the marker feeds paint. The secret to not chopping paint.....follow the directions in the manual for adjusting recock ( you can dwnload a manual if necessary). I have not adjusted my recock through my last 3 tanks of air. It is wicked fast (at least to me) and I have not chopped a ball in what seems like forever. I dont knock electric eyes and we all know that all of your top of the line markers use them. On the other hand the Omens mechanical system when set properly is 99.99 % foolproof, needs no batteries and there are no connections to worry about. I play speedball against shockers, angels and some pretty tricked out Ions....I am the intimidator. First off I dont have a 1000.00 or more in my rig so I slide, dive and jump without fear. I bought this Omen new for 150.00 so I am not afraid to bang it up and scratch's are the least of my worries. It is built like a tank and shoots just as accurate and fast as ANY marker I have been on the field with. In my opinion It is the best example of a no nonense, tough as hell, kick *** marker you can buy. Sorry about the speech but I got carried away and I am bored..lol

a word to the wise omen's dislike force fed hoppers (the cam paddles tend to jam up). I would get some sort of agitated hopper (shoots ropes even with a revvy).

halos should be fine. Most newer omens, especially 2.0s, work with them. If not, theres a cam mod from boss.
Where are they chopping? Barrel, hopper, or cams/bolt?
Adjust the recock.

used egg. Thats the best. Or like 60 oir 70 used halo b, but eggs are best with omens.
Barrel is a bad barrel to paint match. If it sprays a little paint down the cam arms, its slightly wrongfully adjusted [the recock]
