Above Ground Pool - Which brand? Resin vs Aluminum vs Steel.

[Alysenlynn]

OK....We're going to take the plunge and get an above ground pool. I've been trying to do some priliminary research on the internet as we won't actually purchase until this fall. I have had little luck in finding a non-biased source of information on reccomended brands and reccomended types of above ground pools...If you know of any sources please send them my way

What we are looking for would be a pool that is going to last a long time. I'm not interested in a "throw away" investment. We do want an above ground pool. We are looking at 24 ft round as a general rule but would consider a 27 ft.

What brands would you reccomend for quality and long life? What are the pros and cons of Resin vs Aluminum vs Steel and why?

Thanks!
