We have mostly Kochek. They are close by, treat us very well, and make a quality product. With that said, we had one truck with hard suction from Firequip - it was VERY flexible.
Massachusetts is running a pilot program making nasal Narcan available to the friends and family of 'opiate users'. See http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/docs/dph/substance-abuse/naloxone-info.pdf Not every community is fortunate to have paramedics stationed in their town. If the State can give it to civilians, doesn't it make sense that medically trained first responders have access to this as well?
