Scott,

Soda blasters are great because soda does not damage the metal as it strips
the paint, nor does it damage rubber or plastic moldings.  However, soda
blasting does not remove rust.

Abrasive blast systems using aluminum oxide, glass bead, etc., are great
because they can give you a paint ready finish fairly quickly and various
media grades are available (less or more aggressive) depending on your
project.

You need to hit Google and read up on the subject.  One easy read that may
help you is "Abrasive Blasting vs. Soda Blasting For Paint Stripping" at
this site:
