I use a DA after I go over it with a 3" right angle air grinder with a woven disk. It removes paint quick and does not dig into the metal. They do not work good on filler so if I have much to remove I will use a 36 grit disk disk on the air grinder until I can see shadows of the metal under it then swap back to the woven disk and finish it off with 180 grit on the DA. I don't know if it is faster or not then stripper but way less toxic and I can start a panel and just stop for the night. If you use stripper you can not stop until you finish that area, wash it and clean up all the mess.
