I have a BBE Supa-charger that is pretty awesome, but I don't use it so much these days.

There's nothing wrong with it and it's a bit cheaper than the voodoo labs.
I quit using it because I bought a Furman SPB-8C

I love that thing, but unfortunately it is discontinued. But if you dig it, you might be able to find one used.
good luck.

I use two BBE Supa Chargers and like them a lot. There's been a lot of love for the T-Rex Fuel Tank's as well as the Cioks.
Btw voodoo lab just came up with new pp4x4 which is something like cioks dc10 not sure bout the price though
i think the Fuel Tank is like the Dunlop Brick where it's basically a OneSpot in a pretty housing. could be tripping though. but the Brick defo isn't isolated.
Cioks are pricier but usually give you LOADS of options, Voodoo PP2 and the Supa Charger are virtually identical, PP2 has a courtesy outlet on front, i think the Supa has a few different voltage options that the PP2 doesna. but that's only on one or two outlets i think.
really, there's a pretty broad range of power supplies. i'd look at what you're trying to power, then pretend there where 3 more pedals you had to worry about and go from there.
also, keep in mind that there are a BUNCH of pedals that don't mind being daisy-chained off of one isolated out, so you can use the cable from a OneSpot on most power supplies and have up to 8 low mA NON DIGITAL pedz going off of one out.
