After reading a bunch of reviews, I knew Jet was the way to go. Then, with the help of a book called Dust Collection Basics, I figured out what CFM, FPM and static pressure I would need for my table saw, miter saw, jointer, bandsaw and downdraft table. The answer was on the border between the DC-600 and DC-1100. I was more concerned about the noise than additional price, but was VERY pleased to find out that this machine is MUCH quieter than I anticipated. Of course, I'm used to an over-worked shop-vac (bad bearings) so though it's not exactly silent, it is a great improvement.
I built a Thein cyclone (Google it for plans, easy to build and works GREAT!) to place on a 30 gallon galvanized trash can, and to save space, I inverted the blower motor and hung it on the wall right over the cyclone can. Now, within the same footprint, I have a 2 cycle DC setup that's safer and easier to empty, and cost me about $25 more! Then I set up each machine with JDS blast gates - I know me... if the switch is across the shop, I'll skip it for "just one cut..." then wind up with a face full of dust because most cuts are just one!
I rationalized upgrading to the 1 micron filter by considering the health problems related to dust inhalation. They go WAY beyond black kleenex and "lung cookies." I figured a couple hundred bucks now, or thousands in hospital bills and medications later. You can decide for yourself. ;o)
I will say that I was surprised to find out that, when paired with Rockler's Dust Right master system (giant 4" vacuum wand) it won't pick up screws or even zip-tie cutoffs, but it picks up every speck of dust within 12" of it! If I use a reducer, it'll pick up just about anything with the increase in velocity.
If you're reading this, you've alread made the first good decision - get a dust collector. I can't say whether it's the best around, but I'm impressed enough so far to actually sit down and write a review.
By the way, if you can't afford a full-fledged system, check out Rockler's cyclone for a 5 gal. pail and combine it with your shop-vac after replacing the filter and using a drywall/fine dust bag. The big chunks go into the cyclone, and the bag only gets filled with the finest of particles so you'll have infrequent changes. BUT - you won't get the volume of air of a DC, so your saws will still spit some dust up.
