Honestly? I'd jump on a Cards Mold GB. Can't beat the pricing if there is a semi-standard design that catches your eye - and there are A LOT of designs.
For the price, these will last you plenty long enough to make a long-term decision should you feel the need to grab something better. Beyond that, everything starts coming down to personal opinion. Like for me, personally, I'd never buy anything
CPC since Paulsons are plentiful enough that it's a pretty close price point. Other long time chippers who have 5 figures in Paulsons are still purchasing or adding on to their generic
CPC because they like them so much.
There's lots of pretty cool other stuff you can get. I've enjoyed some of the offerings from vendors like BRPoker,
https://brpropoker.com/collections/...oducts/copy-of-dia-de-los-muertos-poker-chips. The problem is, I'd like to pay closer to .40 a chip if I'm getting something mass produced like those.
Lastly, drive over for a game. Our furthest game from you is about an hour, and you can see plenty of amazing chips hit the felt. Good times.
