Which out of these 2 is cheapest. I always thought polyplumb was cheaper but I seem to be paying a fortune for it. I can even buy 15mm elbows cheaper at b&q.

The new Polymax fittings are really good. They look identical to Hep20, but with the advantage that they can be taken apart if the insert comes off the pipe and stays in the fitting. My local City Plumbing were selling them at a pound each and I've just bought 40 of them along with a bag of tees and inserts. Speedfit is slightly more expensive, then HEP20 is the most expensive.
Only had one issue with pushfit in 40 years, and this includes the original Acorn fittings of which there are still quite a few in use in Glasgow. The issue I had was with a Speedfit fitting connected to a flexible tap connector using plastic pipe. The copper olive blew off the plastic and I only use plastic pipe in plastic fittings now and never on compression.
Here's a link to a bag of 10 x Polymax bends for £11.50. If you're into Press fit, they also sell 15mm press fit bends at a pound each.
