I use plastic chips for tournaments (2-3-4/year) and clay chips for cash games (20-25/year).
These two Matsui sets can for different tournament structures - over 2000 chips each (no photo on table at hand):
Matsui Zen: $25-$25,000
Matsui Horseshoe WPS: T25-T100k (100k chips missing)

I only have one set of Tourney set that can only handle STT without rebuy as tourney is rare and hard to come by locally so I only get to use them for family gatherings

My thinking is thus: for this big (well big for me) 3 table charity thing that is once or twice a year with lots of newbies and drunks that don't care about chips (or cards or hell even poker) and the possibility is high for mishandling and loss, go with the cheap, but nice, chips. For my usual bill of fare which is one table the nice clay chips come out.

I like that. Messed up and got some hotstamps in my hand, that's the reach goal. Thanks for your input, our thinking is aligned.

I have 4 tourney sets, all have the pretty much the following 1,400 chip breakdown:
$25 - 500
$100 - 500
$500 - 200
$1k - 150
$5k - 50
That comes out to roughly $500k in bank when the high denom chips are in play. We play with $5k starting stack and start blinds start at $25/$50.
Our average field is 24 players but every once in a while we get up to 30 or 32. My group likes have decent starting stack sizes so for the 30 man field I go with the following:
$25 - 16
$100 - 16
$500 - 4
$1k - 1
If I squeeze it down I can get 40 players with the following starting stacks.
$25 - 12
$100 - 12
$500 - 5
$1k - 1
$25 - 500
$100 - 500
$500 - 200
$1k - 150
$5k - 50

Can handle 25 at a starting stack of:
8-8-6-6-2 for 20k
I figure have plenty of 500 to give some a breakdown of :
4-4-8-6-2
I do want to hold a 3 table tournament this summer.. right now usually it's 2 tables

At this moment I can handle a 70 person tourney. 100 person is technically within striking distance.

I have been trying to think of something funny for over a day now and have been striking out.
Here is what I came up with:
Of course, my chips can handle anything
Given the right motivation I think my chips can handle this
My chips are stressed at the moment. I don't think they can handle this.

Any tourney set I build starts with 4 tables as the base chip count. I am working on a set potential for 10 tables right now. So I have 4 sets that could cover at least 4 tables

10 tables, my God. Whats the breakdown? Do you run that for work?
I have a 60 tournament setup, desert palms BCC could combine with my hotstamped desert palms set to add on another 25

I largest game I have personally only ever run was a 6 table game once but several 3-4 table games. Seating for the 6 table game was done with a randomized name list program that assigned seats. I had used a deck of cards A-10 and suits to mark table seats prior. In future if I get +4 tables going i will print some laminated cards....or if it becomes a regular i could relabel some of the "1" value chips to seating chips. Currently i am knowhere close but the goal is charity fundraiser 50/50 games. It is part goal, affordability, capability that I want. I am still working on the last few but am over 4k chips deep in 36mm majestic stars, currently I am almost there, just 70 t25 chips shy of a 100 player set t5000 starting stack with 1-2 rebuys or 1 rebuy/add on per player.
600----1
800----5
730---25
992---100
380---500
440---1000
360---5000
20-----10000

Technically at 12/12 my 05 CDI set can cover 83 players... plus endless rebuys. In Ohio a few years back another member was hosting a tourney with Half priced unlimited rebuys with no cut off... we agreed to bring the chip set but I didn't really think about the chips needed to cover such a game. Both years we had less than 40 players but lots of rebuys. It's a pain in the butt to move because it takes up 4 cases
Not including the cash set to the left... but all the plaques and accessories needed space so just the tourney set requires 4 cases.
But I kmow that no matter what this set will cover any tourney at any stakes and its always ready to go. OK many people don't like the Paulson Mold... but how many people have Paulson clay sets that can cover that many?
Also have this one that can cover 30
But lacking T1ks... we typically use this one for T5k starting stacks, plays perfect for that game and two local hosts run 5k tournies. 39mm RHC Paulson
This one will also cover 30 but again lacking T1ks, 36mm Paulson
This one will cover 40 players
Mardi Gras BCC V2 MGK mold 39mm, plus Octagons and plaques.
After recently adding 200 more T100s this one can cover 40 players
Then the ole sluggos that never get used. Monte Carlos and Casino Royale
So if counting the two cheap crappy sets... then I have 7 that can cover 30 Players depending on Starting stacks. A few more that can cover 20 plus.

Since I last chimed in here I increased my set to handle up to 60. This is for a once a year thing. Last game was just over 50 players.
Show off.....
Game is still almost 3 weeks away with about 8 regulars who haven't replied yet... (the .1 is for the cash game only)
Update: my set can officially handle a 10 table/100 person tourney
I own exactly one tourney set that can handle up to 27 players, but only with 8/8/4/7/x starting stacks.
In an ideal world, I’d be able to add on to allow for 12/12/x starting stacks, but I certainly won’t complain about what I have.
