Default mechanic guys what's a good creeper?

I saw there are a few different types.
full plastic
full plastic with padded headrest
metal frame with padding
metal frame with adjustable head rest

i'm looking at this one: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/SUN-8505.html

I can't install a lift in my garage so this is the next best thing... well cheapest anyways.

I think that's too much money. I got one from Harbor Freight a lot cheaper. Had it for years. Works well.

We've got a cheap plastic one, really uncomfortable.

Definitely go with some padding.

Metal frame with padding. It makes a difference for sure. The $24.99 one.

Metal with padding is a must IMO.
