The Pachmeyer pads have a steel insert that makes them span holes in syntgetic stocks quite well.  It makes cutting them down more difficult as if too much material is removed the steel plate shows thru but several sizes are available so??  Haven't used the limb saver and Kickeze seems almost too soft..  I usually use the Pachmeyer and coat the heel of the pads with a treatment to make it less 'sticky', to avoid it grabbing clothing as it is mounted..  Work great..

I've used the Pachmyer and Kickeze before and both do a very good job.  The Kickeez pads are fairly "delicate" and don't stand up to hard field use, in my opinion.  For the range, they are probably a little better than the Pachmyer, but in the field, the Pachmyer is my choice.
