been using soft lenses for ages...disposal monthly ones. works fine. cheap and wont break the bank if you were to say...wash it down the sink. am stuck with omega. omega-56. i've tried softlens but it tends to dry up quickly. so yea, brand is more of a personal preference; which answers comfort and the best lens.

benefits? well, mobility, looks, clarity, etc. imagine talking on the phone with a handsfree.now imagine looking without your specs.

side effects?non for me. just the occasional redness if you were to wear your lenses for days on or their not properly cleaned/stored. remember to take your lenses out at the end of the day.
