Well, being a T206 addict who has collected the cards every which way possible over the last 20+ years (high grade, errors, rare backs, HOFers, SLers, etc)...i always come back to rare backs. i just love the various artwork of the different brands, and i love the chase of putting together a nice back run. the tuffer ones are super rare, which makes it a fun journey.
i've seen way too many high-grade examples that look too "short" to my eye, so i steer away from them. i'd only buy high grade cards that have full borders. as Jim B pointed out, either way, it's nice to have consistency in a collection. and most importantly, collect what you like.
One final bit of advice...buy the card, not the holder.
good luck!
