Compare:

http://www.combatsports.com/detail.aspx?ID=23264

those are the same belly pad with a different brand name patch. get the cheaper one for sure.

Boon sports looks like nice stuff, but unless I couldn't find it on their site, has no prices listed and only does school-sized orders for $500+ worth of stuff, which might have worked a few years ago, but since moving it's just me and a padholding slave for now.

I'm going to opt for the $29 Ringside. As long as that dome air pad does the job, if it breaks down in 1.5-2 years, **** it, it was only $29.
