Difficult to choose really - we use Equissage, FMBs (Activo-Med) and a Zamar on the yard!
I like the Equissage for travelling because it's more compact and works well if running late for a class - you can chuck it on over a rug and whack it up to use as a pre warm up - really seems to make a difference. The hand unit is fab for targeting specific areas of tightness too (& I use it on myself!)
Got the FMBs because one of the mares wouldn't take to the Equissage pad tho - just about hit the roof even on a low setting, but loves the rug and all the different programmes - comes over quite unnecessary with it on!
The only downside to the rug based equipment is that there's a limit to what size of beast it can go on - I've had the Equissage on a friends aged Shetland and it was fine (looked somewhat bizarre but did the business).
Don't have much knowledge of Cyclossage except that the human bed thingys they take to shows are quite relaxing!
Would suggest that you contact each of the companies direct and organise a demo on your horse and try and decide from that.......

Thank you 
We've got them all coming out for demos so hopefully can make a decision that way! Everyone I ask has a different preference!
