I've been used a pair of Inzer knee sleeves for the past several years, they defiantly give you peace of mind and keep your knee tight, compressed and warm. The sleeves don't really give much carryover other then the mental competent of knowing your knees are relatively safer for having them on. Any reputable brand of sleeve is going to be good to go, the crappy neoprene ones you would pick up at your average sports however not so much.
