First, I'm no skinflint when it comes to buying gear. Just ask my wife.
I've tried the gray and black WV shins, and the Douglas too. I've ended up with a pair of Cooper Hockey official guards that are butter. Coolmax lined, with three velcro straps. They fit me perfectly with my NB plate shoes. The Gerry Davis are a close second.
Someone recommended roller hockey officials guards, as they'd be cooler and lighter. I'll reporting on those, if I ever find them.
If you have a Play It Again Sports store near you, go there for used hockey shin guards, and take your plate shoes.
