Hey! I feel your pain with the web scraping proxy pool struggles. I’ve been using a mix of rotating residential proxies and datacenter ones. Rotating IPs every few requests helps a ton with avoiding bans.
For tools, I swear by Bright Data and Oxylabs. They’ve got solid uptime and a huge pool of IPs. Also, setting up a retry mechanism in your scraper helps when proxies fail.
Speed vs. reliability? I’d say go for a larger pool. A few slow proxies won’t kill your workflow, but a dead one will.
