Interestingly I use Scott, because they fit me.

I prefer the North brand - they just fit me better than others. A good respirator is not cheap, but nothing comes close to their performance either.
You will want the Organic Vapor Cartridges, or for dust protection too the Organic Vapor Cartridge/P100 filter. Don't use the dust protection cartridge unless you need it because, believe it or not your get tired much more quickly as it takes more energy to suck air through the combo VOC/particulate filter than just the VOC filter.
Once you open a filter pack they are only good for a few days even if you don't suck air through them.

It is all about the shape of your face.
A good respirator can work for ~ 10 years of light use before the rubber seems to get a bit old, so it is a tool that lasts. In very heavy use you will get a few years. Most parts are replaceable.
