I've used a small brass faced for years. I never liked soft-faced hammers and found the "dead blow" part is better served by the support under the neck. I pressed frets for a while and then realized a hammer gives you a lot more control in many different situations as opposed to simple brute force. A good small brass-faced hammer and you won't have to cycle through a dozen "presses".
