I suspect Tapeta will be the best of the three; for one thing, like Drugs said, Poly is total crap and it wouldn't take much to be better than that. As for Cushion, I remember last year a number of trainers complained about it.

Lets pray that Tapeta isn't a surface where all the riders strangle their mounts until the quarter pole.
