For me it depends on the card and set.
Recent commons or less than NM cards - Just go in the box.
better recent cards, fragile cards (Topps lazer) sortof old stuff that's in nice condition - Penny sleeve.
Mid 70's back, really nice ones toploader and penny sleeve, same for VG stars, and maybe more fragile beaters.
Very few in cardsavers, they stick up too much for the shoeboxes or the 4 row boxes I've been using. And I'm bummed that the new 4 row boxes won't fir toploaders.
None of the above is a hard rule, I have cards in all sorts of holders, and many that should be holdered but haven't been yet. That's one of the drawbacks of a biggish collection, paying for all the darn holders.
