Recommend Brake Bleeder? I Don't Know Anything!

Decided to cave n' get one. Please throw me some suggestions/advice.
From old posts, I've tracked down the IPD.com EZBleed (~$30), pressurizing-type system, but it uses a tire's air to supply the low pressure - seems hokey; is it?
Also Griot's ($70 ouch + S&H $12 ouch), a hand-pump vacuum-type sys, that looks really convenient but again, a lot more coin. And have heard pressurizing works better than vacuum, anyway - true?
Someone's also recommended Speed Bleeders, a replacement caliper bleed screw that is a one-way "out" valve when loosened - you just loosen the bleeder, pump the brake pedal, and voila. But doesn't that take a long time?
TIA,
Dan W
