Greetings,
As a new cpap user AND sleep technologist I am interested in any
comments regarding likes and dislikes regarding cpap masks.

If it fits properly, the Activa is hard to beat. The smaller/lighter Ultra
Mirage and Comfort Select (all these by Respironics and ResMed)
are more pleasant, but tend to leak more. In a full face mask, I prefer
the ResMed Ultra Mirage to the good Respironics equivalent, but FF
masks are harder to fit and are more specific to the person's face
shape. I'm not familiar with nose pillows (I didn't like the one I tried)
and other possibilities that some people prefer.

I had a Comfort Select initially. It felt great, but had a tendency to
leak significantly during the night. I am an active sleeper.

Luckly, my insurance lets me get a new mask every six months. From
comments I read on this newsgroup, I tried the Activa next. Its not as
comfortable than the Comfort Select, but seals alot better. I prefer
having the better seal.

I tried a nasal pillow for 15 minutes during the sleep study and did not
like them (just didn't feel right).

As an 8 year user of CPAP's I went through many versions of masks. All
shared a common fault, they leaked. Some noisily while others burped.

The Adams circuit of nasal pillows convinced me to switch away from masks.
Been using the Breeze ever since that came out with great results. At
present have no interest in looking for anything else.
