From what I've seen, I believe Topps keeps the variations in Chrome to a minimum; i.e., for Kris Bryant in 2015, they issued pose variations of his card, but with the Chrome, there was only one pose.
I do though, stay away from the other Topps issues like Heritage.
It can be tough though, to keep it to Topps. With Jose Altuve for instance, I really don't like his 2011 Topps Update card...It just looks strange to me with the headless teammate hugging him; so I went with the 2011 Bowman Chrome Draft card.

The Topps Update Altuve may be the worst rookie card ever produced. Which is unfortunate because even in the scarcer varieties (Cognac and Diamond) it's pretty affordable.
