Pop Filters - Which to use?

Many of you know I am going to pick up a AT4040 next week. with a popfilter a preamp, for doing podcast development. I had a pop filter picked out, which was the kind that is a glove style goes over the top of the mic. There is also the other style which hangs in front of it and circular. Is there a audio benefit to either of them.

Pop filter madness

So, I was buying a pop filter the other day, and it seems there actually are choices. I've only used the panty hose kind, and they seem to work just fine (until the gooseneck falls down, or the clip fails me)

I saw these metal mesh pop filters that saposedly "force" the air down and away from the mic instead of stopping it from moving toward the mic.
