not used a vacuum bleeder but I've had an Eezibleed for years and it's great.

Vacum bleaders tend to suck air in from around the nipples etc... (ooh er matron)...
Use an ezibleed pressuized system

Vacumn for me, eezibleed needs a really good seal on the brake pot or it fills it to the brim with fluid, its also eezi to spray fluid around.
Vacumn negates this but you have to keep the resevior topped up and its best to seal the bleed nipple with some copper ease grease before you start
sucking.
You can of course go the old way, gravity, assistant, jam jar and a bit of rubber hose, which just takes a bit longer but is free.

Easzibleed -- everytime problem with vacuum bleeding is it can draw air into the system past the master cylindr seals particularly on Teeves systems
-- also easzibleed is cheeaper.
Remember even with an Eazibleed you need to give the master cyilnder at least a couple of pumps to get any trapped air out the mastercylinder.

i would vote for EZ, but as ive not used a vacuum set up it wouldnt be a very fair vote. However when i have used the EZ system its been quick and
effective. Providing you have a compressor to keep refilling ur spare tyre. (especially if your doing a bleed from comprehensive line change so theres
lots of bleeding to do!)

I have used both and my vote goes to the Easibleed or better still the Sykes pressure bleeder with built in air pressure regulator

Easibleed can work very well, as long as you take care to set it up properly. Screw the wrong cap on, or don't bother checking the seal and you
and your car's paint are in for a good dousing in brake fluid.
I changed the hoses on my Fiat Coupe at the weekend and Easibleed made bleeding the calipers a two minute job, and didn't involve a large
argument with SWMBO.
