It really depends on what I am working on. The large messenger bag with the heavier linen thread I did with the Abbey England iron. The Kyoshin Elle is really nice for finer threads at 7spi and I have used it on belts. I have used the Euro style ebay irons on the phone sleeves I made, and I liked the way they came out. The punches make consistent stitches, but I don't use them very often because I enjoy using the awl. If I didn't use an awl, I am sure I would be making copious use of them. Not sure if that helps you at all, lol. The Kyoshin Elle irons have been my go to irons, but I lost one in the fire. I found the other in the ashes, but it was in rough shape. I've been trying to replace it, no luck.
