I use Quickloads for the final shot and Polaroid for tests. Many
times, I have left the Polaroid holder in the camera after a good
test, and slipped in a Quickload for the final exposure. I have never
found any perceptible difference in films shot in the Polaroid back
vs the Fuji back. I do prefer the Fuji Quickload back and if I'm
going to take a series of real photographs, I'll exchange the
Polaroid back for the Fuji back. It is easier to use.
View Camera magazine reviewed the three backs and came to the
conclusion that the Fuji back was the best at holding film flat. I do
know from almost personal experience, that you do not want to put a
Quckload into a Readyload back. The metal film clip, at the end of
the film, can get caught in the Readyload holder, the whole mess
requiring surgery in order to make the back useable again. This was
the original Readyload holder. I cannot speak for the latest version.
I personally would not mix Kodak and Fuji backs and films.

Have a look here:

There is a suggestion that as the Polaroid back doesn't have a pressure plate, one of the advantages of using such film as "Quickloads" is lost. The back used was the latest 545 Pro.
I have never tried it so would be interested in your results.
