I have no personal problem with the types of chips when it comes to collecting. I usually just put them in AirTites when I get them home anyways. The important factor when it comes to the manufacturer is the table chips and how they wear and how frequently they might need to be replaced.

I like the HC chips as well as the BG(?) and the Chipcos. I personally appreciate the variety. What I don't like are the few chips over the years that had paper designs placed in the middle. I see those as too delicate. I prefer chips that are durably printed on the chip as most of the HC and the BG and Chipcos. A few chips that I recall having paper art were some Flamingo Reno WWII chips that I got and the Regency Memphis Belle and Dauntless Dotty(?)chips. While I like those chips and have them protected in AirTites they just seem too fragile and cheap.
