If you plan on keeping the cards then why bother with getting them put into different slabs. They're protected already.
If you only plan on selling certain cards then do a walk-in submission for those cards.
GAI was a decent TPG but something happened along the way and they were assigning numeric grades to altered cards (not that it never happens with the other reputable TPGs - it just seemed to occur more with GAI after they were around for a while).
If the cards are newer, then I'd go with PSA, if they're vintage, the either SGC or PSA, however a lot of people are of the opinion that PSA gets higher prices. To me it doesn't matter because I don't bid on the grading company or grade.

I may keep some, but many are going for sale.
