    school me on drawer slides

    My drawer building experience to this point has mostly been shop cabinets that I used full ext slides that I purchased at Lowes. I am beginning a nightstand project soon and need some info to help me decide what slides I want to use for a few drawers it will have. I can modify the design to either face-frame or frameless at this point, as I don't have a set of plans per se, but I suspect I may go face-framed.

    Regardless, I would like your opinions of what slides you prefer; manufacturer, style, mount type, etc. I can look up prices myself, so lets just discuss or compare slides relative to their quality, usefulness, mounting ease, etc. and I will factor in costs myself. I have no experience installing Accuride, Blum, etc. so what are the pros/cons of those and others, as well as undermount vs. side mount, etc. I'm leaning toward not making wooden runner slides, but if you're set on that tell me why as well.

    edit: actually I believe the Lowes slide ARE Accuride, but I'm not sure.
