Thinking about using a vinyl cutter for paint masks. What are y'all's preferred masking films?

-Frisket
-Cricut
-Oracal (Oramask)

I'd like it to be compatible with a transfer tape system for positioning complex masks.

What other brand/product info and/or wisdom can you impart?
 
I use Oracal products everyday and have not ever had an issue with their products. Transfer tape I like RTape 4075RLA. I have used the Oramask and is a very good product.
 
I use Cricut on my wife's Cricut. I have also used the el cheap o stuff. And yes, that is a brand. It all worked with the transfer paper. I do NOT use the permanent stuff for masks though.
 
Used Oracal's masking film a few times it has worked great (created and Model Masters paints). There is definitely a lower end on size. Less than 1/8" square is just going to come off the backing paper when cutting, as is anything very thin. I used it to mask my Odd'l F18 with a Blue Angels paint job.
 
I'm using the oracal. I find the cricut masking is too sticky
