well, you said clearly something interesting, lower sensi players prefer more friction while mid/high love faster glide
i can use cloth pad but with lower friction, ARTISAN does make such cloth pads, its also thicker i belive and tends to have most likely more premium looking than qck

The only reason I use a Talent is that it is slow (mine is pretty worn) and gigantic. Artisan just seems like a waste of $$ from some of my friends who have those pads, lol

could some1 please enlighten me on the effect of white colored mousepads (zowie)? does it affect LOD, tracking? if so, if what way?

Hey Divine / anyone - I have a RatzPad, I play csgo with an MX518 for now (not sure which mouse to upgrade to). Would you say I should look into a qck+ instead of the RatzPad, to gain a bit of friction?

I own a RatPadz too and play CSGO. It was fantastic, but I gave mine up because there wasn't enough room to swipe. Switched to a Puretrak Talent. CSGO players typically have lower sensitivity settings than other competitive shooters so I think you may benefit from a larger pad. Whether qck+ is the best option for you depends on your aim style. It's not a hard and fast rule, but I notice that higher sensitivity players and wrist aimers like lower friction hard pads/fast cloth pads (Many more Quake Live players use hard pads than CSGO), and low sens players who aim more from the arm like higher friction cloth pads.

Glass is very easy to clean, never wear out, and faster than cloth.
Going back to a cloth pad after using glass, the mouse feel like it's stuck on glue.
Cloth has better stopping power.
I find glass as comfortable as cloth, it heat up much faster than aluminum so you don't have that cold feeling.

I find this to be the general consensus. Cloth for low sens and hard mats for higher sens.

How important is thickness for a cloth mouse mat? Does a thicker mouse mat effect gaming than a thinner one?

You feel and hear more of your table with a thin pad. You'll notice it most when you're putting down your mouse at the end of a swipe -- there is more abrasive feedback since the pad is not cushioning the impact. Basically thin pads feel and sound closer to "clunk" and thick pads closer to "thump"

There is no difference performance wise.
