I am going back in the crease but i need a new pair of pads i was looking at the Itech reflex x9 senior pads or the Reebok series 3 senior pads.
I also need chest arm protection Vaughn v3 7500 or the vaughn 8800 or the nike bauer supreme |

Your response is very far from 'nuff said'.
If she is looking at the 3k Senior series of RBK pads then I would say run away from them. I cannot speak for the Itech pads as I have never worn them or done much research on them. Reebok I, personally, wouldnt touch anything they make below the Premier Series as 99% of reviews on all _k series pads have them falling apart within a year or so as well as failing to provide adequate protection from stingers, etc.
The same goes for the Vaughn heritage line (to use another high end company as an example). Every review I have read of their heritage pads has seen them fray and break (while slower than the RBK line) over the first 2 years but the gloves are trash from what I have seen with stingers and bruising from day one.
The Vaughn 7500 C/A I have heard excellent things about from all that I have read. I have not heard much about the Nike Bauer stuff, never really liked the style so I never really sought out reviews. GSBB has some good reviews on the V3 unit that should help you out.
As montreal said the Epic C/A has been said to be a solid unit as well. And while we are recommending other units the Brians D3 has been well reviewed too.
Out of curiosity what made you narrow your search down to these particular units? The pads I can see people picking out more or less because the graphic makes such a big difference, but on the C/A it really doesnt and it is all about protection and fit/feel.
Why not also consider a unit by Brown who is said to make the best in the business, or also look at Battram or Simmons (the 994/955 has treated me very well in the time I have used it).
