I've been exploring a similar question, though I moved Duragilt off my
list a while back. As a new beekeeper, I tried about 20 sheets of
it... and liked it. Easy to put in frames, and the bees draw it out
beautifully. But If the wax is removed from a spot, the smooth plastic
will never be built on again. That's a minus. If they do draw a frame
badly, you can't just scrape it down, like you can embossed plastic.
And unlike all-wax, it's a lot harder to render the wax from the
frames when you rotate them. So while the ease of use is there, and
bees draw it well, I've decided against it.

I haven't used Rite Cell, so I'll let others comment.

I'll be starting 15 new hives next spring, and have decided to go with
wired wax and a few Honey Super Cell (fully drawn plastic) as a test.
Most people I know like any kind of wax coated plastic in wooden
frames, but I've had trouble getting bees to draw it.
