Supergrit is okay as long as you get the Zirc ones. The AOs I got there were junk.
Grizzly has good ones to in Zirc

Red Label Abrasives. As of a few years ago when I checked prices, they had the best price per sq. in. for both Zirc and AO. Thats with shipping figured in. That might not be the case buying in person.

I use AO for fine grits just because they are cheap, they don't last long. I use Zirc for serious sanding, usually a 36 grit, the Zirc will outlast an AO 10 to 1.
