Ethiopian beans as a single origin are at the top of my list.
As you said not everyone liked the batch of Ethiopian you had (by the sounds of it, I wish I could have tried some), then everyone has different tastes and preferences.
I have used and still own a VST 18gm basket, I can't say I noticed a difference in the pour rate. It still produced great coffee.
The strange thing was the pucks were very dry, which is a good thing, but getting them out of the basket was unusual, they were as hard as a rock and took several "Thumps" on my knock tube to get it out! (it came out in chunks).
This is not to say, I won't go back to it though.
I just enjoy making great coffee and I would say my technique is simple.
Then my wife loves using her Aeropress and thinks using a machine is a waste of time!
I will admit, the coffee she produces from it is very good and she does not make it the same way all the time!
That's another story.
