Depends.
I have a few snap-on pieces, a great deal of proto, some HF stuff, most of my sockets and ratchets are craftsman.
I really like the proto stuff, even the cheaper challenger versions.
A lifetime of collecting a few pieces at a time. No junk or it would have been tossed long ago.

I never have and never will never pay retail for that over-hyped snap on stuff.
The snap-on pieces I have were picked up at garage sales etc. at a "reasonable" price.
