I thought I would get some advice about why one is better/more $ than the other. It looks like E-Bond is the best value I can find.

I think there are some diffrences in the diffrent epoxys, main thing is to get a product that is 1) used for marine applications 2) made for laminating fiberglass cloth 3) correct viscosity for what you are doing. Resin like west system is a great product but you pay for the name as well. A little over priced in my opinion. Some of the eBay or discount epoxys are super cheap but may be old or out of its self life period. They may not be designed for marine applications or for laminating cloth. It may be just for gluing or bonding. Some stuff has slow work times some cures in just 5 minutes. Table top epoxy and marine epoxy have diffrent chemistry makeups. A good reasonable priced product that is listed for marine laminating can be found for less than west system brand pricing. Stay away from the super cheep stuff and make sure it is not old from sitting on a shelf for a long time. I haven't used a lot of diffrent brands but someone that has may be able to tell you more info.
