Different methods work for different builders - I've glassed two boats and never touched a roller or a squegee, and had good results. I brush the epoxy on with chip brushes, and (with a lot of care in application) have not had drips or problems with undersaturation on the intitial coat.
I remember one builder on this site saying his recommended technique for squeegeeing was to take the squeegee outside your workspace and throw it as far as you can and never touch another one again; another said that was his use for rollers; another said that was his use for brushes. Personal preference - if you are more specific about the problems you had, we can probably give you some ideas where you went wrong.

I just finished my first ever glassing of a yak hull and found that either I
: am incompetant (possible) or my squeegee's really suck! In fact, I brought
: them in the house after I was done and they cleaned the carpet. The ones I
: have were purchased at a marine supply store in Seattle that sells
: fiberglass material and supplies, so I figured they were the real deal. A
: set of three plastic doo-dads with a beveled front about 1.5 X 5, 3 X 5,
: and 5 X 5.
: Is this what do you pro's use?
: It almost seems like a real window cleaning squeegee would work better if you
: could find them in small enough width's.
: Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated
