how to classify W575 vs E121 w/ad backs

I still struggle with exactly how to classify the cards from the W575 series that have ad's on the backs. As I am an avid back collector I never seem to come to a definitive decision in my mind. One that's been known forever can be a good example (there are many more). Take the Witmor Candy cards. Should I make it E121/E-unc or W575/E-unc. There's the Haffners bread cards....should they be W575/D-unc or D-unc/W575 and which main categories should those go in "W" or "D"....? I could put them all as E121/xx or W575/xx, and I am leaning towards the latter to make it more focused. Also, we can throw in the tidbit about the much thinner strips (in vertical strips of 10) being the real W cards.....I know we have had this discussion before but it's been a while and I am updating my website so it has come to the forefront again...thanks for any input..and happy holidays (oh yeah...here's another quandry)
