I'm specifically looking for one where the pad is about as tough as the filco palm rest, but if there are any other suggestions for quality mouse pads with palm rests, let me know.

Well aside from buying a wrest to add to the mouse pad. There's a few from razer that offer the mouse pad connected, I don't see too many higher end mouse pad combo wrest unless it's one of those cheaper office pads.
But I think it's too simple to say which one you should get. Problem is you didn't mention what kind of sensitivity you usually use? Low, Medium, high?
And preference cloth, glass, plastic etc.etc.? though at the same time those choices are usually tied to the sensitivity type.

Well right now I'm using a Belkin with kind of a spongey pad, and a gel rest. I don't mind it, but I think I'd like the toughness of the filco for my mouse hand.

I've been using a Razer eXactmat for a few years now. It's a big aluminum mouse pad and it comes with an arm rest... It's comfortable enough, but I have to remove it while gaming. The gaming mouse pads are pricey, though. And huge. You will need to make sure you have space to accommodate them.

i find that those put pressure on my wrist and hurt me in the long run. i think it is best to keep your wrist level with the base of the mouse. this was told to me by a bone surgeon a long time ago.

That's what I have now. The pad can be a lot shorter, too.

How about these, mate? Price is about $3-4 a piece with options like smoother surface (almost like a beach ball). Only reasons I don't go for it are "Made in China" origin and I never dig those Japanese anime.

lol, nice. Not sure about my arm getting trapped in my mouse pad though
-
If money wasn't a concern, a good option would be a Filco Tenkeyless wrist rest and a large Steelseries mousepad.

i think desk space is more of an issue, I barely have room with my krk monitors cst and g5. I'm working on building shelves that hang for the mon itors, but until then I don't have m/uch more room than the belkin takes up now
-
My dad would probably decapitate me I messed with his desk (its already got a slide out but its not very wide). And that desk isn't going anywhere. I could move out but how would I pay for my rapidly changing collections?

I see Ripster's still using a crappy Dell LCD. I bet my Samaung CRT's about 100 times better than that thing.
-
It can actually handle higher resolutions than your LCD with higher refresh rates. And the power button doesn't break like it does on those LCD's. And the signal connector in the monitor doesn't go bad after a few years, like it does in those cream cheese Dell LCD's.

cool
