PCGS, NGC, or ANACS slabs; which one looks the best?

I intensely dislike the bulky NGC white prongs, although it will not prevent me from buying a coin I want in one. I prefer the clear PCGS holder among the current holder designs on the market today.

With that said, I really like the smaller old ANACS holders. Not as bulky and, as such, the smaller size did not detract from the coin as much as today's larger holders. I even liked the old blue ANACS holder design because they were thinner, clear, and I liked the beveled top portion so that when in a box, one could see a label to sort them by.

Yeah the small older ANACS holders make the coins look real cool! I saw a Balboa in one and I don't collect foreign coins as much but it looked real nice and I wanted to buy it immediately because of it.

 

I prefer my MS coins in slabs as I don't have to be extra careful around them like I do my raw XF coins. I really don't care what brand holders they are in as long as I dig the actual coin and agree with the grade.
