PSA is preferred for both until you show me ebay ads that say PSA 'Not SGC'

LOL, Yes PSA is preferred by those that like to pay more for the same exact card/grade. It is baffling to me but hey it is their $.

It really depends on what your end goal is. Are you a collector, are you buying to resell, are you buying graded, or are you buying raw and then getting graded?

If you give more specific info I am sure you will get some very good answers and not troll like posts like Jake's and my troll like response to him.

Buying graded.

PSA is the king of postwar. With that being said, SGC is next (better than BVG) and has the best looking holders.

From what I have noticed a higher end SGC card will sell for somewhere around half way between the equivalent PSA grade and one below. Aside from cards like the 52 Mantle yesterday that transcend their grade.

Speak for yourself. Some of us prefer our cards accurately graded.

I'm curious how many will share your opinion with everything that was revealed in that Mastro post. If you can't trust the president of the grading site, how can you trust that the grades are accurate and fair?

Most of my cards are PSA graded, but I am worried about what will happen to the value of the couple in SGC holders. Although perhaps this will just blow over in the minds of those collectors who aren't active on these forums.

Are you buying as a hobby or are you buying for investment?

If for hobby I would buy what ever one you think the cards look nicer in.

If for investment it is more of a card by card decision. Always buy the card and not the holder because eye appeal means a lot. You can always crack it out and get it into what ever magic plastic holder is selling for the most when you decide to sell.

The trend seems to be that PSA has a higher resale value, but in terms of accuracy of grading I have seen both of those companies make mistakes all over the place in the past. Each unto his own, I would say.
