Michael, thanks for the suggestion. I had picked through some older threads on equipment and just wanted to see if anybody had any new opinions. 
Thanks again!

I use the baseball version of The Ump shin guards - they take a hard shot much better than the softball version.
I use the Pro-9 when I'm working men's, D1, or D2 ball. I've even used it a time or 2 in legion ball. I got the Pro-9 after taking one off the top of the shoulder when using The Ump - and I felt that a lot more than I want to. With the shoulder caps on the Pro-9, I haven't felt any. I've taken a foul off the chest with the Pro-9 and didn't feel it at all.
For youth ball, I use the Schutt chest protector or D3.
