Talk to me about spring rolls!

In an effort to branch out my cooking/eating (yep, I'm a picky eater), I decided that spring rolls should be on the menu next week.  I know their difficult to make but figured it was worth a try.  I've looked at some recipes on epicurious and Cooking Light but haven't found too much.

I'd like to try them not fried (I guess I'm looking for baked or steamed?) since we're trying to eat healthy.  Any recipes/blog posts that you can recommend?  Any tips?

Do you like the kind with meat, or without?

Do you want spring rolls as in the egg roll type variety? Or do you want the ones that are like salad rolls? (I always knew spring rolls as the cold salad type, but I think some people know them as the fried variety).

 If you haven't tried salad/spring rolls, I highly recommend you try them. Pretty easy to make, healthy, and yummy!

Try fresh spring rolls, rolled in rice paper - you just soften the wrappers in water and then wrap your veggies and meat/tofu, whatever. Super easy.

I do about the same. Sometimes I add some glass noodles to mine. Serve with some sweet chili sauce.
