We've supplied poles to our customers from most of the major manufacturers, and used them ourselves for several years. In our experience, the Omnipole Powerpole is not the cheapest, but has proved far the best value - it is less flexible than fibreglass, much more robust, and SO versatile! With a 24' Powerpole in 4 x 6' sections, and a couple of easily added extensions, we've found that a single Powerpole meets most needs.
