For those who bottle... What caps are you using? Oxygen absorbing or not

I have a few bags of O2 absorbing caps for when I do bottle.

I get the O2 absorbing caps... not so much because they are O2 absorbing, but the other option is a cap that says "Hooch Brews" on it.

I'm too classy for that...

Swingtops when I bottle, but kegging is where the heart is. On the o2 caps, I've never heard of anyone switching back to regular caps after using the o2's. Maybe there's something to it?

Now you have. I found no difference at all in the O2 caps and the regular ones, and since in my LHBS, the regular ones are cheaper, I switched back.

I got O2 absorbing overruns, so they were just as cheap as the regular. I use Swingtops when I can, but if I need to cap, I use the O2 absorbing.

Thanks guys. Its not a really a money issue (what, like a $1.00 difference)
But its not like I can run down to my local brew shop to get new ones. I have to order everything online.
