This is like asking - which car do you like better - Audi, BMW, Acura, or Mercedes? (for example). People like different things for different reason - quality, fit, comfort, stitching, etc.

Ask some local officials and take a look at what they have and ask what they like.

I've bought at our local meeting after trying things on and also off the internet. Ordering off the internet to start can be a crap shoot - or it could work. Some things like socks, undershirts, whistles, etc may be better ordered online than shirts, pants or court shoes which you might like to try on first.

Good luck.
