Default Window Tint types

I finally just got my '11 GT... waited 16 weeks and, so far, it was worth the wait.
First things first; tint. Is there a brand or type thats better than others? I want high UV protection and dont know if there is a difference at all in types/brands??
Ill be going 30% front, 20% back.

Llumar tint is the best on the market in my opinion.

Llumar, Madico, 3m, Formula One Pinnacle are great brands, I hear Solar Guard is decent also.

Ceramic film is the best there is and all of them^^ make it I believe.

i have llumar and it is great. 35% front/20% rear. love it. got the high performance film. apparently they also make a lower grade film that is a little cheaper, but IMO its better to go with the best for $50 more

I just had mine tinted with Madico 20% all around. I have had this brand on all my vehicles and it has held up very nice. I'm sure all the major name brands are pretty close in quality.
