Answer:
What he said,

basically all that i have heard of is vox and crybaby, and i dont' want to settle for them cause there popular.
Answer:
Really, it's impossible to say which will/would be best for you in particular. I personally love Vox. I've heard other people (very very seasoned musicians and even professionals) state their allegiance to Crybaby wah's. The only REAL advice beyond simply stating what each of us personally prefer would be to check them out yourself.
The Crybaby and Vox wahs are obviously extremely similar in function and look, but both have very different sounding vocal sweeps. Mods can be done to the Crybaby to give it a more musical counsing sweep, but to my ears (again, only to my ears), it sounds too harsh in its stock form. The Vox sounds much better to me personally. They also cost about twice as much on eBay - go figure...
Answer:
Budda, fulltone, area51....
i personally have the area51 drop in kit in a vox 847 shell. I got the fulltone pot and cut some of the rubber stoppers off to get more pedal travel. It is.....Awesome. Best quacking and wah sound...very smooth
Answer:
Are you willing to go up to $200? How about $500?
I just purchased a Wah, and if you wanted to spend more, I could recommend you some higher-end ones that totally impressed me.

Answer:

Answer:
Morleys are switchless. You just step on it and start using it. It also has a pretty smooth sweep, more akin to a Vox then a Crybaby.
Answer:
I think the most important thing is to try them both out before you buy one.

I've heard it used in jazz/funk strumming with some weird 7th/9th or whatever chords. Listen to samples on musiciansfriend for a better idea.
