Has anyone used Mepla brand drawer slides?
I would be interested to hear opinions on them and if there are better options for ball bearing 100 lb. full extension slides.

Mepla are fine as are Grass, Blum, Hettich and many others. Just bought a pair of 500 lb rated slides by KV from wwwwoodwrkershardware.com for $80. Nice slides for the money and rating.
If you are talking about the Mepla undermount full extension slides, yes they are better than the 100# bb slides but they are much more expensive. You do have to totally design your projects ahead of time to determine which you are using. Drawer opening and back have to be designed in. The hydraulic closure is very nice, but you have to buy the different parts separately and you have hog out the slots on the drawer back for the slide clearance. European hdw takes some getting use to, but it has it's advantages and downsides, just like everything else.
