What brand of scroll saw blades are the best?

I'm tasked with cutting out 36 8.5 x 11 jigsaw puzzles
out of 1/4" birch ply.

I was in the blue borg last night and their selection totaled
Vermont American and Dremel.

I got a couple of packs of the Dremels and they dull very
quickly, possibly good for cutting styrofoam if your not
in a hurry.

The two i use are Olsen (pgt) and Flying Dutchman (mikesscrollsa.com)
The FD blades are very reasonable, and are great

Same here. I thin that Mikes web shop is this:

For some things (thin brass sheets etc.) jewellery blades are pretty nice
(please use eye protection, bits and pieces are going to fly) and very
cheap (something like 7 USD per gross). My last batch is from he

Thanks for all the replies, I'm going to get some Olsens
and possibly order some of the flying dutchman,
Up to now I've never done any production scroll sawing,
I need better blades for this kind of work.
