Anyone Used the OMS Thrust or Slipstream fins? How did they compare to other similar types of fins?

I have a pair of OMS Thrusts. It is just OK on the frog kick. It does have a nice big foot pocket for a drysuit. One real benifit I have noticted, is surface swimming against a current, it does seem to work well in this regard.
The Slipstream looks like basically a JETFIN, (I have not used the OMS version). I dove with a JETFIN for 15 years. As many people will tell you, it is a good fin for tech diving.
However, right now I am diving the DIVERITE fin and I am very happy with it. Excellent for frog kicking. http://www.diverite.com/products/Essentials/Essentials.aspx

I have and use the Slipstream. It is basically a light weight Jet fin. It is slightly positive with regular straps and slightly negative with springs. I really like them when I am diving wet.
