If you're only ever going to go to 50' the Ionic's swift is the best IMO.
But if there is ever any chance of you going, even a little bit, higher-the Extreme 47' is your best bet.
Though I've no experience of Facelift's gear.

did have a look at the ionics stuff yesterday seems pretty decent stuff there. im going to get the one that will last and do a good job for us as im doing more high level jobs now it needs a good pole on it.

The swift+ is the best pole I've ever had.
All their other poles are inferior to Gardiners IMO.
@50' ionic is slightly heavier but it feels solid. And in use, the weight is negligible.
The commercial head has a better scrubbing power but is quite a lot heavier.

Like I say, if there's even a chance you'll want to go higher, get the extreme.
If you want to stop @ 50', get the swift+.
