Im looking for a remote for my spyder tl+. i have read the reviews and checked various places online. i have these four in mind:

Thunder Pig Micro Line Paintball Remote
CMI MICRO COIL Paintball Remote System (same as the first?)
PMI 3000# PSI Heavy Duty Coiled Remote
ACI Coiled Remote

which one would work best with my gun and a pure energy 20 oz tank? thanks for your help.

Thunder Pig is good. I use the ACI 3000psi slinky with my Minimag.

Yessir, the CMI and Thunderpig are the same thing... I have the box for the remote on the desk in front of me. :) The difference between the CMI/Thunder Pig and the ACI is that the first is microline, and the second is macroline-- if you're ever planning on anything LP, go with the ACI.

As for the PMI, my buddy uses one on his Mag, and that thing is indestructible. A bit short for my tastes, as my ACI is long enough to ley the gun on the ground, but I gues with a slide check it doesn't really matter.

Pretty much any of them can be had on eBay for $25-30, so it's really a matter of preference;

CMI/Thunder Pig: smallest, lightest. (also has the shortest on/off, which is nice)
ACI: longest, (perhaps) better flowing (larger ID hose).
PMI (or clones of): short, tight coils, super tough.
