I'd have to say shells, there's sooo many effects you can have in a shell and you can get such a big burst from them compared to any other projectile.

Catherine wheels are all time fave either the traditional spiral sort or the opposing rockets on a card.
Cuckoo fountains are pretty cool as are Roman candles, and I like most things that show a good Blue color.

I`m not one for these Air-b**b salutes, they seem kinda pointless to me, as do these screech-pop rockets, although I used to like the Old bangers (Brocks or Standard), they were reasonably harmless, and sounded well in a metal ash bin, although that`s going back a good 30+ years.

I prefer Visuals to Sounds.

I'd have to say catherine wheels (not driver wheels). No particular reason, I just like them. :rolleyes:

Shells are my favorite, as sizzle said you can have so many effects from a shell!

I`m not sure what "Driver wheels" are, but I`ve seen some catherine wheels with a high spin rate and a good 5+ metre spread and multi colored too, Great Stuff :)
although you`ll need a bit more than a nail in the side of the shed to deploy something like that! :rolleyes:

According to PyroGuide(.com) a driver wheel is "turned by the force of drivers which are attached tangentially to the wheel". As opposed to a catherine wheel which is like a roll of fuse-like material (can't describe it properly, maybe someone else can?).

Basically a driver wheel is as you put it "opposing rockets on a card".

I may be young but I am no sucker for salutes.

I prefer multi-stage star shells.

It is hard to beat a good mine, especialy if it hapens to have a couple of shells in it. I have always been a sucker for combinations of colour and streamer effects, especialy blue or red and charcoal. But what I hate, is Saturn missile batteries. What a crap it was to make a device that goes on and on and uses nothing but whistling and cracking. I know that both whistles and little crackers have their places, but to make a device which has nothing but them is just plain annoying.
