Okay, as of late I've only used Meguiar's soft-buff pads but I've come to see a few sites and people selling Lake Country DA pads for pretty cheap. Which colors would I use? I plan on using them for M105, M205 (though I heard it can be finicky), M80 and occasionally to apply LSP. I figure blue would be good for LSP, white for M105 and black for M205? White or black for M80.

For M205 or M80, it all depends on your needs. If you need to do a bit of defect removal you'll want white, black is a finishing pad. Great for bringing M205 to a high shine.
For the LSP either blue or red work well, as does the newer gold pad.
One of the advantages of LC pads is their availability in smaller sizes. I find myself using 4" pads frequently for spot defect removal as well as compounding. They seem to cut better and faster than the larger pads on a DA. YMMV.
