At least the good thing about using a vikan rec is that you are never going to be around a customers house and see that they have exactly the same brush on the end of one of their brooms.
I'd say hybrid as well, a very good pole for the money, the vikan rec brush I find good as well, all though some say that it is too bouncy. I have a cleaning spot brush on my hybrid at the moment, It seems to be doing the job.
