Meh, a full survey isn't necessary in a tool purchase. Just hit up
Amazon or your favorite tool review site and look at ratings and reviews
for your price range. Avoid the worst, be happy with one of the rest.
(Garage Journal or what's that other one? Lumber Jocks? has some pretty
good indepth reviews.)

Each has a use.
I used staples for attaching thin ply backings, or just thin ply to
anything.
I use brads when needed, not too often.
I took out my pin nailer for the first time in a long time to fix some
trim molding to my windows. Rather than having large heads to fill, I
angled the pins to hold better. Hard to tell they are there.

i have not ruled out the hf so far
the wen is the one that has not depth adjust even though it claims to
the combos are interesting as they are dual purpose for brads and
staples

15.99 right now but staples have to be 5/8 or longer
at this price it is a no brainer for using up to 1.5 inch staples
also shoots brads to 2 incches
seems to me staples are better than brads but maybe brads hide
better

My narrow crown is the HF combo 18gauge nailer / narrow crown. I like it
, it does adjust. But mine is the older blue model.
while not as nice as my porter cables, it's hard to argue with the under
$20 price I paid.
