Any of the three processes would do well for you.
As for the difference between the Mikronite and Supra-Fin, Well, They both yield very similar results each from it's respective proprietary process. I think that the biggest difference is going to be in the cost.
I have not had much experience with the Mikronite but I have used Cryo-Isotropic (Cryo-REM) and Isotropic (REM). I have also used the Supra-Fin with excellent results.
Here is some good info on supper-polishing: http://gltrs.grc.nasa.gov/reports/20...005-213958.pdf http://ammtiac.alionscience.com/pdf/AMPQ7_1.pdf http://gltrs.grc.nasa.gov/reports/20...000-210044.pdf
