Cressi and Scuba Pro masks:
They are the least expensive.
You can probably use your own regulator that you currently have.

The lenses have to be de-fogged like a standard scuba mask.
They are not very robust, look like a modified gas mask.
Have the largest dead space of any of the FFM on the market.
No oral nasal in mask means air consumption is probably the highest.
Do not come with a regulator.
You must remove the mask to go to your secondary air source, so you should carry a back up scuba mask.
Must remove the mask to breath the ambient air or talk on the surface.
Is not designed to accept voice communications systems.

Just to clarify, the Scubapro mask does not have to be removed to go to a secondary air source. The mouthpiece unscrews so a secondary regulator (as long as it has the octopus adapter on it) can be screwed right in. The mouth pocket will flood but not the lens pocket. Also, it has a surface air valve on the right side that unscrews to open so you don't waste tank air... Just remember to screw it in before you go under....It also accepts comm units on the left side port.

For the money, its a great mask. I have over 200 dives on mine. However, that being said, I like my Exo 26 better and my Guardian better as well.
