Looking for a decent dual orbit sander for doing bodywork, i've seen electric and compressor powered ones, which are the best?

Get a decent one though. I used to use B&Q own brand ones and they broke ever 5 mins
Or just keep the recipt and get a replacement every time they break. I just gave up in the end and my new compressor just about does the job
