Yo, managing a web scraping proxy pool is def a headache. I rotate IPs like crazy, especially when scraping big sites. I use Smartproxy for their residential IPs—super reliable and not too pricey.
For bans, I usually have a fallback list of proxies ready. If one gets banned, I just switch to the next one. Also, adding random delays between requests helps avoid detection.
Speed vs. reliability? Honestly, I’d take reliability any day. A slow proxy still gets the job done, but a dead one is just useless.
