Thought I would share my experiences with all 3 masks since they are similar. I hope this information is helpful.
ResMed Airfit P10 - Used this mask for several years. Love / Hate relationship. Loved how small, light and quiet it was. But fit wise the medium seemed a little small and the large was too big, could not get and keep a good seal and it rubbed on my upper lip. The worst thing was the mesh exhaust ports suddenly clogging up, despite weekly cleaning and blowing dust/dirt/moisture out using a portable air blower, especially in winter months when our house is colder at night. To get around the clogging, I used a sewing needle to put 4 holes in the mesh on each side. This allowed a lot more air to vent.
F&P Brevida - Loved this mask. Very comfortable and quiet. The M/L pillow was perfect. Only issue was getting a small leak if I moved around too much due to the "wings" on the side of the pillow pushing against my pillow and causing a small break in the seal. Nothing bad though and my leaks were 0L initially and 4L if the mask got pushed a little to one side while sleeping. The diffuser worked really well too, whisper quiet. And no clogging.
F&P Nova Micro - wow, my new favorite mask. Goes to my #1 position. Smaller and lighter than the P10, almost as quiet as the P10 and Brevida. After 2 weeks of using it, consistent 0L leaks!!!!! Very comfortable too. I thought I would need the large pillows as I heard they run a little smaller than the P10 pillows but found the large was too big and the medium was perfect. There is a small amount of air venting as it doesn't use a mesh or diffuser but it only extends about 4 inches from my face and doesn't go into my eye. Overall I love this mask. And my AHI is a little lower than it was using the P10 or Brevida. Can't explain why but I'm not complaining.
