FF mask recommendations for high pressure

I'm seeking recommendations for a good FF mask because I'm a mouth breather and my current CPAP pressure is 18cm. I return to a hospital based lab to be titrated next week and I will not be surprised if my pressure has increased once next week's test is over since being tested previously in October 2007. Are FF masks made by ResMed considered to be better than those made by Philips Respironics? Since my lab already knows my current CPAP pressure which is 18cm will the lab more than likely titrate me next week on a FF mask rather than a nasal mask with a chin strap?
