Looking for information on what people have used and which ones perform the best?

Which collars are you asking about?  
 
The bark collar is one type.  
The E collar with transmitter is another type.  
 
One collar is self correcting. The other needs input from a transmitter.

I use an e-collar for my hunting dog. As stated before what do you intend to use it for. If they are not used properly they can do a lot more harm than good. Your dog must be conditioned to it. Before you use it use it on yourself so you know what it can do. My collar has 18 setting, the 1st two I can not feel. My dog responds to the lowest setting. Mine also has a beeper on it and that is what I use. She knows to respond to just the beep and there fore does not need any other correction.  
Use with caution.  
Ps when I put the collar on her she gets real exited as she knows she is going hunting.  
Message me if you need or want anymore info

Yes I know the difference in collars. My ad was posted as an E collar.  
For the person who uses them on his hunting dogs could you send me pm with your phone number.  
Thanks

from garmin is what I use. I have it so I can run multiple dogs on the one controller. It also is a bark collar, if I hold the button down long enough. I conditioned my dog to it, and normally we start off on the higher side of "normal" for my dog (while training) and after a couple corrections I can turn it down to the vibrate. My dog is extremely adhd and high drive and has a very fat neck, so it does take him a little longer than some smaller dogs I have seen and used them on.  
I was against these collars due to what you read and see idiots doing, but now after having proper training myself and seeing the difference in my dog I will never go back to the "humane" way. I have actually had myself and each one of my family members hold the collar, so they also have an understanding as to what it's set at.  
The pro550 is a little more costly ($500-$600), but the multiple dog functions, low/medium/high settings for each level, beep & vibrate command, light on the collar (so you can see your dog in the dark), flashing LED light and bark option if used is well worth the money. Comes with different sized prongs for dogs with less fatty necks (unlike mine). The downside to it, is the collar it comes with sucks! It is basically a cheap plastic thing, but there are numerous companies out there (Ray Allen, K9 Storm) that make nice e-collar collars.

I messaged you

Does anyone have a good quality ECollar they are no longer using?
