Jeppesen! They are so much easier to read and their briefing strip helps when setting up & briefing approaches. (Jepp plates & charts are the standard in the airline business.) They cost more but are worth it. "Airway Manual Express" packs are much cheaper than a subscription and are great for IFR students.
