I prefer SGC. Mostly because when I first looked at sending a few cards in the membership or as I call it the cover charge with PSA really put me off. Beckett wasn't much better, with different grading for older cards, which seemed too much like the old "it's near mint for its age" that every flea market dealer seemed to live by. SGC seemed about right, and more reasonable.

But if I like a card, and if it seems like a good deal I don't worry about the holder. - I have a few from each of the big three, plus GAI and Accu-card.

If a card sells for a lot more graded by PSA, that to me is a reason to buy ungraded or SGC/Beckett. Why pay a whole lot extra for a fancy holder?
Each company seems to treat different sorts of defect differently.
