Hi There and welcome aboard.

Honestly, I feel it is good to try & trial different sets if possible, as it gives you more options and you may find that one type of set that better or best suits your needs. I can't speak for everyone, but absorption with me does seem different when I use cannula sets as opposed to the needle type.
In the past, I've heard many complain of adhesive issues with different sets, and some have used different ways to make the sets stick better (i.e. Tegaderm, IV3000, IV Prep, Skin-Tac, Skin-Prep, etc.). They sometimes work, but not always. I think some brands of adhesives may be better than others, but you may want to get samples of each if possible, also.

In terms of the Quick-Sets, some do really well with them, others may not. My major complaint was with regard to the Quick-Sets Plus, that wound up being recalled & are no longer made. That was in 2003/2004 or so.

The biggest thing I always try to emphasize (be it with regard to pumps, companies, etc.), is that what works for one, may or may not work for others. Each of us need to find our "niche" with regard to sets, pumps, etc. Here's hoping this will help you some. Again, welcome aboard.
