NFC Tags

Sorry if this has been covered already and i missed it.....

I had a quick question for all of you who bought NFC tags (other than the samsung ones). Did you guys buy the classic Mifare tags or did you go with the NTAG203 tags?

I am looking at getting some from either tagsfordroid.com or andytags.com, just want to know which ones to buy. I know a lot of you have talked about the ones from tagsfordroid because they include an NFC keychain as well, so i figured this would be the best place to ask.
 
It depends what you want to do with them. If you want to use the TecTiles app, you will need the Mifare 1k tags. Or if you want to put a (relatively) lot of information on the tag, you want the 1k. However if you are using NFC Task Launcher (take note of the byte count for your scripts) or doing simple things like contact info or web sites, the NTAG203s are cheaper,faster reading and more foolproof (not that the Mifares aren't nearly foolproof).
