    SS for sure.
    Never been a fan of Ultrasonic ones.
    The Frankford Arsenal really seemed to be a good one. Lots of people using them out there

    For once I'm gonna disagree with Wes. Which is rare. I love my sonic cleaner. I use mine to clean my brass and my pistols. I can clean out all my semiautos without tearing them completely down. Blow it out with air them spray it down with G96 gun oil. Nothing against a SS tumbler. I guess it'll depend on what all you wanna do with it. Both works. And either one you're gonna have to put the brass in a vibratory tumbler to polish them.

    I like my sonic cleaner and then polishing in my Lyman tumbler after processing. IMO. That just works for me.

    Frankfort Arsenal tumbler here. I love mine and it works for sure. I use it to get them fairly clean and dry tumble for shine when after size and trim

    No reason to dry tumble after using the stainless wet ones only time I dry tumble now is after processing rifle brass to remove the lube before I anneal them

    I love my lyman wet tumbler with ss. I tumble with a tiny bit of lemishine and a capful of auto wash and polish then dry with a cheap hair dryer. Never dry tumble afterwards they came out looking like new and primer pockets a nice and clean. I deprime with with frankford deprimer to keep crud out of my sizing die.
