Each piece has a specific application. When it comes to soils work, you can't have enough tools in your arsenal. The pad foot vibratory roller we have extended the drum to 42" and use it regularly on patio, driveway, and behind every wal that we use Strata-Grid on. Why? It blows both all other pieces in our arsenal away for productivity.
We use the plate on the last 2" of base for patios, and, we use the jumping style in tight areas that require high compaction. Since jump style, or rollers are not recommended within 3' of the wall face, we run the plate.
For trenches, back hoe sheeps foot rollers are the only way to go. You can easily hit 95% and they cost pennies compared to powered stuff like the aforementioned.
