I've been using the neoair pads for several years now and have been pleased 
with them.  They seem to be pretty tough; I've only had one puncture and it 
was easy to fix with the patch kit that's included.

My preferred ground pad for any hiking is a Ridgerest, though I've been 
considering the Z-rest.

Light weight, no maintenance required. Won't go flat on you. No need to 
pamper it, you can throw it down on rocks and use it for a butt pad to sit 
on.

My girlfriend has been using inflatable pads for several years now, and has 
finally given up on them. She's using a Z-rest and a short ridgerest and is 
very happy with that combo.

YMMV HTH HMYDI
