Now obviously gai isnt even in this contest, but between psa and sgc, is there one i should choose over the other or is it pretty much just personal preference? Is there much of a benefit of having every card in my set graded by the same company? And one more question, is it worth it to crack the gai cases and regrade through one of the others? Rookie questions, I know. Thanks guys

If resale is important, then I'd recommend PSA. If not then it doesn't really matter which company you pick (PSA or SGC or even GAI). Having uniformity in a set is aesthetically pleasing as opposed to a mishmash of different holders. So, personally, if I were building a graded set, I'd want all the holders to be from the same grader. Some companies tend to encapsulate a higher degree of trimmed cards. You generally don't have to worry about PSA or SGC in this regard but they aren't 100% exempt. I don't know if GAI is bad for this or not. Perhaps someone who has some experience with them can respond.
