Great post!

I'm an all-films guy, and it's been working out great for me. Easy, cheap. I buy sheets from Tools For Working Wood (they have sample packs), cut each sheet into 3 strips and mount on glass with rubber feet for stability and grip.

If I need to set/adjust a bevel, I use the 15 micron film with water or oil. It takes a while but I like the results. Then I basically follow a similar progression as Seraphim, with water or oil, just to get the crud out of the way. Sometimes I'll take a dry pass after I've finished with the wet pass.

No stones for me, dude.
