Best Fractional Laser Face Resurfacing for Acne Scars? (photo)

I am 22 and have some mild acne scarring (ice pick scarring and light red spots). I have tried peels (Vi peel, salicylic acid, TCA, etc.) mild lasers (IPL, micro-laser peel, pro-fractional) and microdermabrasion. Some have helped, but I have not received the result I want. I am interested in trying a fractional laser, but with so many options, I am not sure which one is right for me. I have been recommended the pulsed CO2 laser, Syneron eMatrix laser, and the SmartSkin CO2 fractional laser.
